Any more suggestions as to where the zonal boundaries should be?


Another problem is that zones were designed for just 3* of today's style
zones but the number was increased over the years to push fares up.

* Fares Fare in 1982 had 4 zones for the whole of Greater London but two
of them comprised the current Zone 1 which was divided East-West.



Maybe part of the answer is to have overlapping zones so that, as at
boundary stations, it's possible to make a one zone journey in either
direction to two places, a journey between which might cover two
zones?

That would be a completely new system though.

The real answer is for all public transport to be free (like bendy
buses).
