Scrap the train fare nonsense

I'm sick of forking out a fortune to commute to work, it's like they're having a laugh, my train fare is more than my car insurance and that's just not right. I've got a mate who drives to London every day and he's paying less than me to get there, it's a joke.

I'd change the whole system, get rid of these complicated fare structures and just have a flat rate, you know, like a tenner to go wherever you want, that way it's fair for everyone. I mean, what's the point of having all these different types of tickets and discounts, it's just a way for them to confuse people and take more money.

I've been looking at this and it seems like other countries manage to do it, they've got simple ticketing systems and affordable fares, so why can't we, it's not like we're asking for the moon here.
