The penny section does come from a long time ago, but it's origins are actually quite simple. It's based on the fact that at some time one zone or section on public transport, probably the bus, cost one penny. A zone or section can be defined by the company however it likes, but it's usually distance-related. When you reached the end of the section or zone, you either stumped up for the next section or got off and walked.

Nothing mysterious about that!
