Yeah and if you have a smart card it's cheaper than pay as you go.

Zones only make sense in big cities where there are MANY lines to choose from like London or Paris. And even there, they still have a distance based system for smart card users. I was only in London for two weeks in November and I "rented" a smart card. Ended up saving a ton on the tube/bus over those two weeks VS. pay as you go.

I'm going to hate going back to Vancouver transit after this trip. They need to update the machines too to European style where you can type in the desination or search by stop and pay to that stop etc.

If you've never been to Europe/Asia it's hard to understand how this all works but trust me, it would be AMAZING if we had this system in Vancouver.
