One basic point to bear in mind is that, in general, systems can be
fair or they can be simple.
A zonal system can be simpler but full of anomalies (e.g. four stops
crossing a zonal boundary costing more than 10 stops with a single
zone) and so less fair.
A point to point system can be fairer (charging for the distance
traveled) but will be more complex.

An even more basic point you are all avoiding is defining "fair". Once
you have an agreed definition, *then* you can start arguing whether one
particular system is "fairer". But first you need to agree the
definition.

For the record, I *don't* agree that a system is unfair if A-B and A-C
ever have the same price.
