Going back over 40 years or so, can anyone think of an industry that can
compete with TFL in the inflation stakes?

Using the standard measure of a single Mars bar (now available in economy
packs of course) at 1400% a call from a public phone box comes in at a quite
reasonable 1200% but a short hop bus fare is way out in front at 4200%


Ah, but what about a longer distance bus fare?
