fares and Green Line Return Fares for the same period too.

Hello everybody,
do you know how much was a ticket for the London underground in the

I found that a bus ticket for one stop was one and a half penny, and a
three-pence for about three or four stops in suburbs such as Edgware
or Stanmore. Is it right?
Any help appreciated,
thanks,
Filippo
