Would that not be a win-win situation ?

Well that really all depends on how the card is programmed. First of all, smart card users should first be able to take advantage of cheaper fares than cash fares, like the Oyster card. Of course, there can be cheaper fares offered during off peak periods. It all depends on how it is all programmed.
