Their main experience of CBCs will, of course, be when TfL launches
their facility that will cover the zonal area. It will be interesting

perfectly delighted to see their ridership and revenue soar once it
was extended to their services.

Did that really happen? I find it hard to believe that a near doubling of
fares (introduction of Oyster Zonal pricing has removed the 49% day return
discount, without making the one way journey any cheaper) resulted in
increased ridership
