I think it's really an issue with bus routes where the majority of passengers are pass holders, which can include short services in urban areas where walking is an alternative for most people. As the reimbursement for passes is proportional to the average single fare paid by a fare paying passenger, they can probably get more overall by taking 1 x £5 single than 5 x £2 singles if they have 20 pass holders on board.
