Another issue is likely to be whether to charge flat fares on buses,
or graduated fares. The latter will require either touching out on
alighting, or stating the destination to the driver before
validating.



Brighton & Hove buses are very close to being flat single fares already, and
the other fares available from the drivers lend themselves to a capping
model similar to Oyster PAYG. I suspect they would either abolish the few
exceptions, or make it flat rate smartcard + paper tickets for the
exceptions.
