I'm sure that the 10% that they'd "lose" by honouring the occasional old ticket would be well below what they lose through general fare evasion in just a few minutes of operating each day. Plus they already get to keep the revenue for unused, lost, or washing machine tickets.
I agree - just make them permanent for 1 fare. If someone is hedging against fare increases by investing in bulk ticket purchases, then good for them I guess. Same as with stamps, most people won't be bothered to invest in something like that to save a few bucks down the road.
