Seems Kuddly Ken has decided that its now fine to charge someone 4
quid for a single fare via zone 1. I'm presuming that this is to force
people onto Oyster. Or is it perhaps to stop visitors to the city
from using public transport? Possbily a health drive , get them all
walking?

Seriously , I don't understand the logic behind this. Wtf is he
trying to achieve? Its simply going to screw money out of tourists or
visiting businessmen who don't know about Oyster or don't walk to fork
out for one or go to the hassle of getting one just for a short trip. I

suspect quite a few after sampling the pathetic service and sky high
prices on tube might well not bother coming back. Well done Ken.

He's obviously not got through to you to get an Oyster card, has he? I'm
a visitor to London with an Oyster card.
