I looked at commuting from the midlands. £9,000 a year. It's actually a joke. In all seriousness though - very low prices on public transport should incentivise people out of cars. Weekend/day trips around the UK away become significantly more attractive. And above all it moves some of the money out of London. The obvious downside is higher passenger numbers, more capacity required, and no money to fund it. It'd take someone with far more domain specific knowledge to appreciate the complexities - for now it's my go to "one policy to change the country" when asked :)
