Whats the cheapest option?
Walking, but that's 4 extra hours a day you lose. Running would make it probably 'only' 2h lost
£1.50 each way on the bus, but at ~1h20 each way that's an extra 1h40 each day you lose and it's probably not much slower to run - 7.5 miles each way, so about what, an hour and a half?
7 day z1-3 travelcard is £7.74/day if you only use it weekdays. If you make a £5.70 journey each weekend then it breaks even with PAYG
You could save £2 a day or so by running from Elephant & Castle I reckon. It's 3.5 miles to Camden Town.
Then again, if you're off the bike maybe running's out of the picture too?

The contactless card automatically caps at day/week travelcard if they work out cheaper. A monthly travelcard may work out about £20 cheaper if you're using the tube heavily every day.

Im gna be off bike still for at least another month, and am now back in full time, need to be in office work.
I cannot make heads and tails of tfl capping vs travelcards. My commte is balham to camden. 3 to 2 via zone 1 so hitnthe zones 1-3. For simplicity say i never leave 1-3.
It seems to cost £6.60 a day just getting the tube, but being off bike and not being able to walk far ive been using the tube and buses a fair bit in the evenings and weekends.
Whats the cheapest option? Is just carrying on using the 1 contactless card more or less equivaent?
