It's complicated in the sense that all journeys are individually
priced.

And why is being individually priced a bad thing?

that depends upon whether you think a proper zonal system is
a good thing. I happen to think that it is. Pity London doesn't
have one.

Look at the example I
gave elsewhere in the thread: the Northern Line ticket from Morden to
Waterloo costs the same as the ticket from Morden going all the way to
Mill Hill East. Passangers to Waterloo are paying for around twice as
much journey than they actually use. An individually priced
Morden-Waterloo ticket would solve this problem.

So price London to Mill Hill as seven (or whatever it is) zones
This is an implementation fault, not a reason not to have zones.
