One of the ironies is that this is what 'conservative' folks claim to want -- to dispense with the bureaucracy, with the stress and the requirements and the governance. To have a simple system, which just works, plain and straightforward.

Removing fare requirements would do that! But that's not what they want. Not really.

They want a system which is entirely simple -- and exclusively for them.

But markets aren't bureaucracy! /s

For real though, the smaller and more frequent the transaction the more of burden it becomes.
