As I've mentioned before, this whole bloody nonsense could be solved with
flat fares. They work on the buses so there's no reason for them not to work
on the tube. And anyone who comes out with the complaint about it being unfair,
well I haven't noticed any bus passengers complaining about it.

I think that's because few bus passengers have the stamina to travel the
sort of distances the tube covers.

It could be just like on the continent - a ticket gate to go in and some
turnstiles to come out. Sorted.

On much smaller networks. The closest equivalent is Paris, and even that
only covers their metro (which is entirely within zone 1&2) and RER in
Zone 1 http://parisbytrain.com/paris-transportation-zone-map/
