Default 43% Increase

What's with all these news reports of on average 4% increase across the
London network ? I wished.

The bus saver tickets used to be 6 for £4.20 (70p each). Now at 6 for £6
that's an increase of nearly 43%. What's that ? A 21 fold increase above
inflation ?


My Zone 2-3 Monthly Travelcard has theoretically gone up from £48 to
£50 - about a 4.17% increase

But thanks to the rubbish sevices from the NR TOC I use, I still pay
less than the 2004 price - £47.50 to be exact.
