Default Dangleway Needs More Riders

Calls have been made to allow people to use travelcards on the Thames
cable car in order to boost commuter traffic.

It comes as Transport for London figures show regular commuters make
one in every ten thousand journeys.

Since the Olympics the £60m service, which operates between the 02 and
the Excel Centre, has been running at less than 10% capacity, the
figures show.

What does that mean?

I can believe the 10% statement. I was there at the recent half-term and it was going at about 75% even with shed-loads of kids around.

It's clearer in the quote I included in the previous thread on exactly the
same topic.

Not quite. The number of commuters *using the carnet tickets* is
1/10,000 of the passengers who have ever used it, *including* during the
Olympics period .

I see the GLA Transport Chair is now calling for Travelcards to include it.
