You're right. In my small world I've only travelled on city buses that went a short distance so I wasn't aware of many routes going much further than this.

Having thought about it a bit more, and as my partner just pointed out, if you're travelling on a long distance service passengers shouldn't be expected to pay a much larger rate just to go a 10th of the distance. Does anyone have any thoughts/ideas on how to make bus fares simpler?

Hi everyone, I came here to ask a question regarding buses. I have nothing to do with the bus industry, but do have a question I wanted to put to users who know about buses, as an outsider. That question is, why do bus companies choose to use a zone-based fare system? Positives: Makes sense...
