What's silly about that? In the present system, even if you just take a
*local* bus ride, just a couple of stops or so, you have to pay the same
as a journey the *whole length* of the bus route! Think how much money
you could save if you only paid for the short journey you actually
travel, instead of all those miles you don't!


Fraud was a significant problem under this system. In particular,
over-riding - passenger paying for £1.20 journey but travelling beyond
the end of their ticket.
