If good for London, why not every other major city in the UK?

Surely, we already have such tickets.

In London, they have the Railcard and that even covers the Croydon
Tramlink.

In Birmingham, they have something similar so do all the other PTEs.

In Nottingham there's the "Kangaroo" ticket[1] card which is accepted
by:

Bus - NCT (but not night buses), Trent Barton (not night buses),
Premiere, Yourbus, South Notts, Notts+Derby, Pathfinder, Stagecoach East
Midlands, Marshalls, Centrebus, Nottingham Community Transport, Veolia
and Arriva Midland.

Also Nottinghamshire, Nottingham City and Leicestershire Council
contracted buses coming into or around Nottingham - all Dunnline, Paul
Winson, Paul James, Doyles and Premiere Travel contracts.

Park and Ride bus services from Queens Drive and Racecourse

And not forgetting Medilink and Locallink, which are free anyway!

Tram - all services

Train - all services on East Midlands trains and Cross Country trains
within the boundary, valid at/from Attenborough, Beeston, Bulwell,
Carlton, Netherfield and Nottingham
