Reply to comment by JeromePowellAdmirer in CONFESSION TIME: If I know I can make the round trip within the allotted 1 hour I will only activate a single Light Rail ticket by kraghis

In Berlin they have subsidized transit across the city. Hop on/off rail lines, trams, buses. All for the price of one ticket.

No it’s not free like you say, but for the cost of one light rail ticket you can go everywhere in Berlin with ease and efficiency.

That's a different story, allowing one fare to be used across multiple systems is a very good thing as it generates additional trips that wouldn't be done otherwise due to high cost. Since the fare is still existent, those extra trips add revenue which otherwise wouldn't have been there.
