This could be resolved by a brilliant new idea I've had. A ticket that
allows you to make as many journeys as you like all day, with a peak
and off-peak version.

They could call it an "all day travelling card" or something ...


And you could have an extended version, covering a period of time...

Which would help someone who wanted to make a single journey, at a
single journey price, just how?


By being cheap enough I spose.

Depends what you mean by "journey". The problem is with being charged
extra for having to change to a different vehicle, despite it actually
being less convenient, to make what in real life is a single journey to
where you want to be.

People using cars (the real competition) don't have to pay extra if
they stop off on their way, so why should people using buses and/or
trains?
