The Netherlands is working on a touch in and touch out zonal fare
system, and it's not working well at all.

Where I'm currently living will implement "oyster" this year and has a zonal
system. There's no way they will have a flat fare (the longest route is
about 100km) and I'm wondering how they will do it. I suspect that you will
still have to "ask the driver" and all that will happen is the "ticket" is
put on the card, rather than supplied as a piece of paper.

They have an "oyster" system in Helsinki and there, if you want to go more
than one zone (IIRC you can do 1-3), you press a numbered button on the
validator as you "touch".
