It is fair that the fare be raised for that, yes. Perhaps it could

Bus fares going back to being zonal? Don't think so. You either
require passengers to have interaction with a driver or a machine on
boarding
the bus so as to declare how far they're going, which would massively
damage the speedy bus boarding benefits of Oyster, or else you have
some sort of
touch-out arrangement when departing the bus. Which wouldn't work in
London. (This isn't Singapore.)


If it didn't work, more revenue ?

Charge a higher fare on entry, deduct on exit or on use of a machine at
the destination bus stop (or even on boarding another bus).

Fun when the bus route is entirely in one zone but those who don't
touch out still get charged more and (for the roadside machine) when
the destination is park & ride.
