If we take Berlin and London, we can see a stark contrast in travel card prices there. For example, a day travel card in Berlin (zones ABC - which includes the city and its surrounding area) would cost an adult 7,70€ (£6.78), however, in London a day travel card (in zones 1-6) would cost an adult £11.70. The difference shows that a nationalised system is cheaper.
