The is a need for all WMCA related authorities to work together on improving and simplifying public transport. Currently, it would appear that a number of authorities are working on their own improvements. What is needed is a greatly simplified ticketing system that moved away from the ridiculously high number of options currently available. Regular public transport users should have access to a single card that provides seasonal and PAYG options associated with a ticket price that is standard across all areas and is associated with a time limited travel period. See Finland's HSL.FI for an excellent example.
