Good point. Usually in cities a single ticket (on a bus, metro, trams, etc.) costs the same over the same distance/route on Tue 07:50 and Sun 14:50.

@biohumanisti @quixoticgeek @cstross @SteveJonesnono1 Also in Berlin. A separate “10 a.m.” one-month ticket. https://www.bvg.de/en/subscriptions-and-tickets/all-tickets @tml @biohumanisti @quixoticgeek @cstross @SteveJonesnono1 It also doesn't help that the peak/off-peak rules are inconsistent in the UK. They vary between TOCs, and even by type of ticket. The 9:21 train from my local station is off-peak if you have an off-peak day return, but counts as a peak train if your ticket is an off-peak open (within one month) return.  @bencc @tml @biohumanisti @cstross @SteveJonesnono1 UK train ticketting is utterly broken and makes no logical sense, anywhere. Even TFL, the one half decent bit of public transport on the cursed isle, has an utterly fucked up ticket structure that is sexist and discriminatory. |
@biohumanisti @quixoticgeek @cstross @SteveJonesnono1 Nah. I would say that it is relatively common in large public transit networks to offer separate off-peak fares. For instance TfL does it. https://tfl.gov.uk/fares/find-fares/tube-and-rail-fares
