Given that my fiances family live and work in Kiev I'm not entirely
sure which bit you think is less than anecdotal.

beyond comparison. Apples and oranges. £2.80 lets me travel round
Brighton all day by bus; £3 lets me travel round London all day by bus.
Does that mean Brighton is better value for money?

So if LU only had the central line for example , you'd be quite happy for
people to have monthly cards from epping that cost them a few quid? Since
obviously the only criteria for you is how many lines there are.

Incidentaly , the Moscow metro as I've said before is the busiest in the
world. I remember a monthly card being about 450 roubles. Thats 9 quid
at current exchange rates. I'm not quite sure where that leaves your
argument but holed below the water line would be my thoughts. Unless you're
going to insist thats a teensy ickle system compared to london too.
