Support Caroline Pigeon for Mayor. She's been calling for a 1 hour bus

which can be transferred?
Paris, notably. But the French are hardly kings of integrated transport.
You're out of date - Paris *does* have tickets which allow bus to bus
transfer (and also bus-tram and tram-tram). It's the standard "ticket t+":

The time window is 1hr 30mins between first and last validation.
If however you buy a ticket on board a bus (€2, a 20 cent premium) then
it offers no transfer validity. Of course in London you can't buy a
ticket on the bus.
Elsewhere in France I've come across bus tickets which offer free
transfers, both city and longer distance Departement buses.
