It's no surprise that cash is still the dominant ticket type:
Two-trip tickets are no cheaper that their cash alternatives. At the very least they should be 10c cheaper per trip and more widely available.
Ninty-minute tickets can't be bought in less than packs of ten. Why can't you buy them singly?
Daily/weekly tickets are no use to people travelling short distances. I can travel from home to work (1.55 trip) and back five days a week and just match the price of a five day ticket. When I lived closer to work (1.35 trip) weekly tickets even with an extra trip or two, were still more expensive than paying cash.
Montly tickets aren't valid for a month, only for a calendar month. If weekly tickets are valid for 1 week, why isn't a monthly ticket valid for 4 weeks/31 days?
I don't disagree that pre-paid tickets are in the common good, but DB need to provide an incentive to make people change.
