It might be logical but it would also cost a great deal of money in
terms of lost revenue. Hong Kong operators have used service cuts to
remove through services where a bus to bus interchange can be put in
place to give little or no financial penalty from changing buses.

Then perhaps the normal single fare should rise to cover it. It is to
me highly unfair that someone who has to use two buses because TfL
don't provide a direct one[1] are penalised over someone who might
make a very long direct journey.

I suppose the cap almost deals with it for someone doing a return
journey, but for a single journey it to me[2] isn't right.

[1] Not that they should. But there are odd gaps in the network, e.g.
nothing from Euston to the Blackfriars area without a change. The
change at Kings Cross is probably the best way to serve the market,
but the added cost is unfair.

[2] Not me directly, as I have an outboundary Travelcard season.
