Absolutely ridiculous.

£3 per Tube ride is a sick joke, while £1.50 per bus ride is not far
off what you'd pay for a few miles elsewhere in the country, but is
offensively expensive for a short journey.

I understand the purpose of the exercise is to encourage Oyster use,
but IMO this is not the way to do it. Will this, OOI, now make taxis
cheaper for a short journey than the underground? What's the minimum
fare these days?
