Outside London a return fare in the countryside the average return fare is around £6 (well it is around Oxfordshire and kent), however if i take Stagecoach's Route 66 between Oxford and Swindon, i can get a return for £6, however for £6.30 i can get an Explorer ticket which gives me unlimited travel on all Stagecoach routes across Southern England and South Wales plus Wilts & Dorset and i think Bluestar and First too but not sure on those two.

well should their ticketing cover their London services?
But i don't like paying over a fiver for a bus fare. I prefer TFL fares on the oyster all over!

the bus pass or oyster price cap on all london buses is about £4.20 which you have to pay for 4 bus rides and have the rest for free.
I will never move out of London. I stay there because their transport is better then the privatised services which they have no ticketing system like TFL have.
I dislike having fares which goes up where you have to go to a further distance.
I do not like waiting an hour to get the next bus outside greater london as long i can wait about 10-15 minutes for the next bus. Plus with the oyster card, you do not need to carry all of the loose change for the bus fares. So i prefer everything when you travel to be on the RFID chip and on a plastic which is a same shape as a normal bank card. Its very handy to travel that way.

The only fares I ever learnt off by heart for outer London services is a journey on the 420 from Redhill to Sutton Garage was £3.60 and Stagecoach Eastbourne charge £5 for an all day ticket around the Eastbourne area only - which excludes certain routes such as the 98/99 which continue on to Hastings and the 54 which heads up to Tunbridge Wells.
