Perhaps a half-way house would be to remove the discount for rail

Or to offer a cheaper "Travelcard" option that included only bus
travel? There's tons of capacity in almost all of the bus network in
the peaks, and where there isn't it's hugely cheaper to provide more
than it is on rail.

The whole of zone 1 is within easy cycling distance of all
termini

That it is, but not all of us (even those of us who do cycle regularly
in other places and do enjoy it) like the idea of cycling in London as
a good stress-free way to start the day. (Nor, to be fair, is a Tube
journey, which is why my morning journey involves a bus and a walk
down the South Bank instead).
