Try Moscow then - considerably bigger than london. Flat fare.


Bigger subsidy and smaller network.

Not that much smaller and it carries more passengers. Ironic how russia with
its bankrupt economy can subsidise when the UK, supposedly one of the top
10 richest countries in the world, can't.

How much extra Council Tax would you volunteer to pay, in order to
increase the subsidy enough to have a reasonably priced flat fare?

Council tax wouldn't come into it. The subsidy is from central government.
