Perhaps. But at present they benefit from an unfair quirk of the
price system.

Can you imagine, say, it being one Zone 1 single *per Tube train you
use*? It'd be no different.


To some extent you can solve that by a pricing structure where (for
example) an unlimited day ticket is the same price as two individual
legs. So the only people who would ever pay for a single leg are those
who are sure that's all they need to do that day (think of it as a "low
daily use discount").
