Really cool, interesting things to consider. Wait until we get lunar trains and they will need to work out which lunar time zone to leave at

You only need time zones if by definition you have access to daylight, and you depend on daylight. People who don't need that, like submarine crews, just run on an arbitrary time.

There's no reason why the entire Moon can't be on the same time zone, as the lunar day isn't 24 hours anyway, it's more like 27 days, and pretty much everyone will be underground.

So everyone will be on Coordinated Lunar Time, which will be abbreviated to LTC in a compromise with the French speaking world.
