This is true - but it's an odd anachronism, almost, that applies
only to TfL but not any other PTE or similar[1].

How many PTEs have an equivalent of the Network Card? I suppose YP or
Senior Railcard discounts are similar though in the latter case many
PTEs have higher discounts.

[1] Actually, that's not quite true. Railcard discounts are
available on through coach/rail fares involving the Stagecoach X5 and
VT99 rail links and probably others. The discount is on the complete
fare, not the train fare alone!

Pah! The X5 is an evil attempt by Vermin through their ownership of
thetrainline to abstract traffic from though services operated by
Central Trains.
