That depends how you define "fair". You could equally say that it is
unfair that a journey of a few stops would cost the same as a a three
bus journey from one side of London to the other.

In that case, bring in zones on buses (though you'd need to touch out
as you do in the Netherlands), or bring in a system like the Dutch one
based on a flat "starting fee" plus a kilometric fee.

All of those options are fairer than penalising someone because TfL
doesn't provide them a direct service, then penalising them again by
making them pay twice.
