Out of interest, does anyone recall how much a Zone 1 tube single cost
when Ken was first elected? If it was that much less than £1.50 then
I'd be very much surprised. If so, this all strikes me as a very good
deal - especially with the flexibility of Pre-Pay.

It was £1.50 at January 2000.

What was the carnet price? I have an idea it was £1.10 (£11 quid for 10
tickets). As an infrequent traveller, that was my solution at the time.

Sounds about right - when I arrived in London in 2002, Carnet worked out
at £1.15 per ticket (and bus Savers were 65p). It went up to £1.50 per
ticket in 2003.

For me, the decrease in the Zone 1-2 prepay fare after 7pm from £2.00 to
£1.50 is certainly welcome.
