Well, Oyster does encourage journeys to start before 7am, after 7pm and
after 9:30am. I suppose it could have a more complicated structure that
specifically raised zone 1 prices in the peaks, but even fewer people
would understand it then.


And the nature of Oyster, especially with PAYG, distracts you away
from the price anyway, just like post-payment of electricity bills[1]
and the likes.

[1] I've long thought that one of the best ways to reduce home
electricity consumption (to benefit the environment) would be to
mandate the use of pre-payment card meters as the only method of
payment.
