Apparently all fares are going up by 25% on the Tube.
And the 70p bus fare is going up to £1. I guess the £1 fare is going
up to?
Anyway 25%???? Just a tiny bit over the rate of inflation then?
Anyway I think considering LU fares are a rip off already. 25% rise is
just taking the ****.
But then thankfully I won't be living in London by next year. So Im
not all that bothered.
I do feel sorry for commuters who to be honest do pay over the odds
for a **** service.
The thing is. LU provide a service like they do. Then charge these
fares. And then can't understand why people are queuing up to bash
them.


And still no low-cost transfer ticket on the buses, no?

Absolutely ****ing disgraceful.

Personally I don't mind so much if TfL are trying to engineer a situation
whereby a travelcard or buspass of some description become the minimum
economically viable ticket - which certainly appears to be the case.

However, why can't they sell the ****ers at bus stops or on buses, for those
of us who need to make an initial bus journey in order to be able to buy a
travelcard in the first place?
