Default Peak bus fares sneak in unannounced

Theoretically notice was given at the beginning of the year, although I
found the publicity rather sparse. It officially came into effect
yesterday (Sunday) although obviously today is the real start.


I'll say. Didn't see any publicity at all. Reading it on this board was the
first time I came across it. I still have the booklet produced that shows
the new fares for ALL public transport from 2nd January. There was no
mention of a peak fare period for Oystercard.

I switched from 70p bus saver (now £1) to 80p Oyster prepay cos I thought
that's what TFL wanted us to do (with the price preference) but what's the
point if now they're the same price ?
