Much as I vowed never ever to vote Labour again since this phoney war


started, if Ken pulls this off with PAYG and irons out all the

problems on
NR etc., I may well go back on my word and vote for Ken as mayor

again.

Define 'pulls this off'.

Are you happy for NR cheap day returns to disappear for journeys

within
the zones ?

Once upon a time I had an Annual season from deepest Surrey to Bank
(W&C). Ken's takeover and simplification would have meant a one third
increase if I hadn't moved to a job elsewhere.




I don't see why you couldn't have them both?

And if you have a gold card, you get a third off anyway for these
journeys even if you go way out of London. And so does your partner etc.

Would introduction of PAYG necessarily mean abolition of cheap day
returns? After all, you can surely get a cheap-day return on some parts
of NR that do accept PAYG, can't you?
