Incentives to travel off peak

A Japanese metro firm thinks it may have found the solution to commuter misery by offering a free bowl of noodles to workers who stop travelling at rush hour.

The Tokyo Metro company says it will ease over-crowding on carriages by giving a coupon for a bowl of soba noodles to every commuter who takes an earlier train for ten consecutive days.

What should UK^▸ train operators offer their commuters as an incentive to move their journeys away from the peaks?
