"No need to plan"?!

The whole thing gets messier and messier. Trying to explain to students
whether they benefit more from the TfL season discount or buying daily with
a YPR gets even more messy.

Perhaps, but I'd hate to see the solution (if one is really needed)
being to simply withdraw all the CDRs and stop giving Railcard
discounts.

(It really irritates me when a company passes off a price increase as
"making our charges easier to understand" or some such.)
