Some will lose and some will gain. In my mind, like the German model,
it makes perfect sense for a local transport authority to have
responsibility for setting the fares[1] on all local public transport
services, whatever the type, so I am all for it.

[1] *All* fares, with the transport companies not being permitted to
offer alternatives. Most PTEs offer their own seasons, as of course
do TfL, but users of single fares don't benefit from this.
