Default Peak bus fares sneak in unannounced

...and for a longer period of the day than originally planned. I'm not too
pleased about this! The only publicity I've ever seen regarding this was a
single poster a month ago saying that the current prepay bus fare was a
"limited time offer" - admittedly until today, but they never said what
would come afterwards...

Oyster prepay prices will be £1.00 from 0630-1900 weekdays, £0.80 at all
other times. Originally I think it was planned to make the "peak" period
0630-0930 only on buses.


Although the web site says peak fares apply till 19:00, the fares leaflet
says quite clearly that it's only till 09:30.

Which is it?

Interestingly, the £1.00 fare doesn't apply on Routemasters - it will only
be the standard £0.80.
