I don't live in London, but most people I've talked to who do don't have any monthly transport pass or anything like that. They just tap in with contactless. The transport is cheap enough that if you don't travel many times per day, there is really no need. As one example - a bus journey is 1.75 GBP regardless of the distance and number of individual buses taken, as long as all initial tap-ins are within one hour.

Looking at the TfL website, people on benefits get 50% rate discounts; students get 30% off; pensioners and children get completely free travel. It's really quite a good system actually.
