Gates access to whom? Trade-offs in favour of what?

Introducing a fixed price gates the poor the most (eg. a wealthy individual can afford to spend a couple hundred pounds on a yearly subscription without much thought), and often incentivises trade-offs in favour of individual transportation (i.e. cars), which is less desirable in terms of pollution and traffic.

The poor already get free travel. As do pensioners.

How do poor people in the UK get free travel please?
