in big cities in the uk (edinburgh, london, etc.) paying with a contactless tap of a debit card each journey will never result in paying more than the cheapest daily, weekly etc. travel pass. single tickets are gbp 2.00 and a daaily pass is gbp 5.00 so individual journeys are recorded and counted (when paid for with the same card, obviously) and at the end of the day, if more than three journeys have been made the total charge for the day is capped at gbp 5.00 - and the weekly total is also capped at the value of a weekly pass, etc.

> daily, weekly etc. travel pass

At least in London it stops there, i.e. the automatic capping doesn't do longer than weekly capping. Also the weekly capping only runs on a fixed Monday to Sunday period, whereas an individually bought weekly travelcard can start on any day of the week.
