My frustration is the prices and the complexity of fares. Add to that the recent strikes and other engineering problems and it becomes expensive and unreliable. A bad mix.
Some of the pricing is mental still and not because of being private/public. My base at work has recently moved out of walking distance and because of the way singles/returns are managed a single works out at £8.60 for a 12 minute journey.
