So, at what price would you set the flat fare for a single journey on
the Underground? Remember this has to be valid for, say, Waterloo to
Leicester Square as well as for, say, Northwood to Newbury Park.


Two pounds seems like a nice round number. A bit more expensive for
a within a single zone journey but a lot cheaper for all others.

No doubt there will be immediate bleatings about how the subsidy
required can't be afforded. Well in that case , give me the economic
case why other countries can afford it and the 4th richest country in
the world and one of the higher taxed (ie us), can't.
