The difference would have to be made up somewhere. 2 journeys a day in zone 3, £6. Include weekends, but no extra trips. 6 * 365 = £2190 Zone 3-4 travelcard = £1020 Zone 1-4 = 1960, 1-5 = 2328, 1-6 = 2492 Plus 3 quid was at my upper limit, 2.50 IMO would be more reasonable so the cost comes down to 5 * 365 = 1825. Subtract weekends and its 5 * 260 = 1300 Yes, there are holidays and so on but then again some people make lots of trips on top of commuting so it may even out. Some people, yes, but with a flat fare someone will always end up paying more or it wouldn't be viable, but everyone benefits from a simpler fare system plus its less costly to administer, the savings of which can be passed back to the passenger. Plus there's a chance fare dodging could drop depending on how they rejigged the entry gates - you can't force your way through or over a head high turnstile (at least not without people noticing) like in the paris metro and numerous football grounds. Exit gates could be a simple waist high one. |
