Default Yearly Season Ticket For Part Time Workers?

You can buy an "impersonal season", which costs 50% more than the
equivalent Adult rate season ticket, but, as its name suggests,
allows any number of people to use it (although only one of them may
be using it at any one time).


Any idea (apart from the additional profit they'd lose) why they
don't relax the rules on travelcards and let them be used by the
bearer? I think TfL have relaxed this on weeklies now, only one
person can use the ticket at any one time anyway and it seems unfair
in this case they have to buy two tickets to do the equivalent of 5
returns. I'm sure the potential abuse is quite small, the logistics
of two people ticket sharing to get more than 5 journeys a week would
be difficult..


Quite possible if one works earlies and one works lates.
