systems normally work on the basis of there being a prepaid "carnet" or
strip ticket (or smart card), which you buy from manned newsagents
(etc), so the comparison is entirely false, IMHO.

You mean like, say, Oyster?

or Ticket Stops?

Hamburg doesn't and never has had, btw. It has a fare structure very
similar to London.

Except for the scale of the system, surely?
