Fixed monthly is required for the tax saver scheme

In the UK and NI performance is measured on a monthly basis and discounts issued to those holding monthly tickets from the next month and so on

Also if you where to give a days grace and had flexible ticket dates you can guess what will happen

Monthly tickets can be bought in advance

The advent of the smart card will eliminate these problems forever and you will always get the cheapest outcome regardless of travel pattern

This thread is starting to diverge in 2 ways so looking to split it somehow
