Yes, London transport is one of the most expensive, but you can get
an off-peak travel card for bus and tube in zones 1/2 for £4.70.


Any Travelcard is valid for buses in *all* zones. A one-day Bus Pass
costs £3 which I would not call highway robbery.

Are the fares in Toronto subsidised out of taxation revenue?

Yes, but by comparatively little in comparison with most systems in North
America - a little over 80% of the TTC's income comes from the farebox, I believe.
