What it "causes" is people being able to travel whenever they need to travel. Peak overcrowding or empty trains at other times are a reflection of people's schedules more than ticket prices.https://twitter.com/uncriticalsimon/status/940618887657414656 …

Is the goal to move lots of people, at their convenience? Or is the goal for all the people rich enough to afford to travel at will to be able to take up three seats?

Anyway: the country which I was using as an example for charging flat rates is Japan, not the USA. Obviously they get crowded in the peaks--just like they do, despite shenanigans, in the UK. But they're more popular off-peak than in UK too, as far as I know.

I used America because most of their commuter lines simply don't run off-peak at all.

For sure, although charging twice as much for rush hour tickets would not change that state of affairs.
