....and for a longer period of the day than originally planned. I'm not
too pleased about this! The only publicity I've ever seen regarding this
was a single poster a month ago saying that the current prepay bus fare
was a "limited time offer" - admittedly until today, but they never said
what would come afterwards...

Oyster prepay prices will be £1.00 from 0630-1900 weekdays, £0.80 at all
other times. Originally I think it was planned to make the "peak" period
0630-0930 only on buses.

Interestingly, the £1.00 fare doesn't apply on Routemasters - it will
only be the standard £0.80.

The tfl website is just wrong. It should read 6.30 am to 9.30 am Mondays to
Fridays for the peak pre-pay fare. I rang 7222 1234 and asked.

Aw crap. As if it wasn't enough that they increased the bus saver by 43% and
forcing me to buy an oyster prepay, now I'm facing a 25% rise on that as
well. :-(

When will it ever end ?

You don't get better transport without spending money, and if he already
had the money, we'd already have better transport.

We already have some of the most expensive public transport in Europe
already and yet it still pales in comparison to some other European
countries.

The revised fares booklet says 0930, so it may be an error on the TfL
website.

Although the web site says peak fares apply till 19:00, the fares leaflet
says quite clearly that it's only till 09:30.

Which is it?

The web site has been corrected this morning. It now says the £1 prepay
fare applies only Mon-Fri 0630-0930 (except on buses with conductors),
which is consistent with the leaflet.
