Except the ticket "zoning" is split along arbitrarily stupid lines - ie,
those which Bayside "own", as opposed the "real" Zone 1. 

"Customer Loyalty" is another furfy - if I live on a Bayside Trains railway
line, how can I possibly be "loyal" to anyone else?

One system, one ticket. Or preferably none.

...Paul.  [And before anyone asks - I never liked the idea of the National 
Bus company to be selling their own tickets, either].
