I have wondered if it would make more sense, given the open nature of

Agreed. *I think the same can be said for trams.


Of course in London the trams do already operate on a flat fare basis
on Croydon Tramlink - they didn't start off like this but things were
switched around a number of years ago so trams basically became an
equivalent to buses.

Though of course the point you were making is that trams should have
on-board Oyster readers. I suppose there are several pluses and
minuses to doing things either way.
