2011 Fares

[snip] Well I'm annoyed, if not actually rather angry, about the withdrawal of the zones 2-6 Day Travelcard and hence Oyster PAYG cap. This is the spiel from TfL via the BBC News online story: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-11598617 ---quote--- Transport for London (TfL) said Zone 2-6 travelcards were used by fewer than 6,000 passengers a day, including just 300 people during peak times. ---/quote--- One simple question - does that "fewer than 6,000 passengers a day" figure include those who use Oyster PAYG and get capped for z2-6, or does it solely relate to the sale of printed paper Day Travelcards? If it's just the latter, then that's some sleight of hand - if anyone reading this is in a position to ask the TfL press bods for clarification on this matter then that'd be good. (And on the associated 300 figure for Anytime/peak z2-6 sales.) (I'm tempted to think that post introduction of PAYG on NR, lots more people may have been reaching the z2-6 cap.) I've got other comments on the rest of it, so I'll come back to this thread to post more sometime later. But this z2-6 withdrawal is a bit of a joke - why should people pay for expensive zone 1 validity if they don't go in it? Perhaps we should have a fares strike... |
