Merseytravel offer such a thing at a very heavily discounted price, as
do many of the German Verkehrsverbuende (normally sold as CC-Karten,
though I have no idea what those initials stand for).

I must say that the fare structure still strikes me as confusing, and
not at all well-suited for implementation onto smart-card ticketing.
IMO, London still needs to look to the rest of Europe, especially
Germany, for its example. Fewer fare levels (OK, the flattening of
the zones is a start) and through-ticketing/unified pricing by all
modes is IMO the way forward.
