TfL processes contactless payments at 4am each day to allow for accurate calculation of daily travel charges, facilitating the application of fare caps. Passengers initially see a small charge when tapping their card, but actual deductions occur after trips are aggregated overnight. Daily caps vary depending on travel zones, with upcoming fare increases announced. This ensures that customers benefit from capped fares, which are calculated from 4.30am to 4.29am the following day, streamlining the charging process and keeping travelers informed of their costs.
TfL charges contactless payments at 4am daily so all trips can be tallied, enabling the application of daily caps for travelers' total charges.
The TfL website states that a daily cap is determined over a 24-hour period, starting at 4.30am and ending at 4.29am the next day.
