I can't say I've ever see a timed ticket (except a full day)

I *think*, unless I misunderstood, that Prague's system *does* offer
unlimited rides.

I'm beginning to take to the idea of discounting a repeat journey -
one bus fare gbp1, two bus fares within an hour (say) gbp1.50, similar
arrangement with tube fares.

The main source of fraud which puts bus companies off the idea of
offering through tickets, from what I can tell, isn't that people
might pop to the shops and back on the same ticket - it's people
getting a through ticket and going and giving it to someone else in
the bus queue as they get off. They obviously wouldn't do that with a
loaded Pre-Pay card!
