It says he will "Freeze TfL transport fares for four years and introduce
a one-hour bus ‘Hopper’ ticket ..."


Is the Hopper one hour between first and last touch-in, given that
people don't touch *out*?


And that some single journeys can take more than an hour.


Such a journey doesn't require two tickets now, and few would expect it
to in future.

Or make it that you have to touch out of bus journeys and treat it
similarly to underground/rail OSI such that touching in on one bus
within a period of touching out of another, is considered to be one
journey. So for example if you were to travel from Waterloo to
Paddington by catching a 211 or 507 and change at Victoria to the next
36 or 436, it would count as one journey.


An hour is a rather small granularity to be messing with OSIs I think.
