PAYG and Ken on news

Tristán White wrote "Michael R N Dolbear" wrote Tristán White wrote (snip) Would introduction of PAYG necessarily mean abolition of cheap day returns? After all, you can surely get a cheap-day return on some parts of NR that do accept PAYG, can't you? No CDRs on Oyster of course plus all of them seem to be TFL fares IIRC. But my question was if Ken 'pulls this off' by having 'singles only' and making the former CDR buyers pay more until they got to the capping level would you (and they) be happy) ? I assume that gold card discounts would vanish too. My understanding of Tristán's comment was that acceptance of Oyster PAYG on a route does not mean that paper tickets have to switch over to the TfL system. Both could be available, so that any traveller would have the option of using either PAYG or a paper ticket (such as a CDR) for their journey. This is almost what happens on Silverlink Metro already; LU (paper) singles are valid, as are NR cheap day singles/returns. You can choose which to use depending on which is the cheapest for your requirements. In this manner, introducing PAYG on, for example, Crystal Palace to Victoria would mean that passengers simply travelling to the vicinity of Victoria could buy the cheaper CDR, whilst those travelling on via Tube to somewhere like Oxford Circus could use PAYG and avoid using two tickets. -- Dave Arquati Imperial College, SW7 www.alwaystouchout.com - Transport projects in London |
