Default Oyster prepay fare capping

OK, how about a radical change? Replace the single with a 2-hour
ticket, and legitimise what you suggest. They do that in Prague.


That's no good. It would *still* overcharge people making a local
journey, just like the present system does. They'd pay for two hours
but only travel for 15 minutes, and no chance of a refund on the unused
time!

A system based on point-to-point fares is the only honest option.
