Presumably they wanted to remove anything not directly related to the
Underground network, though that still doesn't explain why they removed
the fare zones as well. Perhaps it was an example of a designer's
obsession with extreme minimalism (like some designer hotels).


There is less need to depict the fare zones now that most LU passengers use
Oyster, and rely on the gates to deduct the correct fare. Passengers buying
tickets from a machine do need to know the zones so they can buy the correct
ticket.

Your point is taken. However, IMHO, it would still be helpful to see
the zones. Because one is not utilizing cash, there is more reason to
track one's spending.
