About daily price capping
Daily price capping is the most you will be charged a day when you use Oyster to pay as you go on bus, Tube, tram, DLR, London Overground and some National Rail services.
Peak cap
The peak cap will apply if you travel from 04:30 and before 09:30 Mondays to Fridays.
You will be charged separately for your journey(s) from 04:30 and before 09:30 (Mondays to Fridays), plus the off-peak cap, if the total cost of the journeys you make is less than the peak cap.
Off-peak cap
The off-peak cap will apply if you make several journeys on the same day during the following hours:
- Mondays to Fridays: from 09:30 and any journey that starts before 04:30 the following day
- Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays: from 04:30 and any journey that starts before 04:30 the following day
Daily price capping from stations north of Moor Park
If you travel on Mondays to Fridays after the following times from stations north of Moor Park, your Oyster single fare will count towards the off-peak cap instead of the peak cap.

Maximum cash fares
When you are using Oyster to pay as you go you must touch in at the start and touch out at the end of your journey, even if you have reached the daily price cap for your day's travel. If you do not, a maximum cash fare will be deducted from your balance in addition to the capped fare.
