More HEX Shenanigans - ripoff Britain?

We wondered how many tourists, visitors to rip-off Britain, had also been conned into paying for full fare tickets into London? Probably most of them. /snip Good. They don't contribute to TfL from their taxes, so why should they benefit from a subsidy programme designed to reduce the financial expense to Londoners of the Picc closure? Are you suggesting that travelcards are only available to people who live in London, or that only people who live in London use the Piccadilly Line to get to and from Heathrow? The real question here is how much did TfL compensate HEX for taking their passengers. HEX might have felt it reasonable to assume that anyone who knew anything would take advantage of the situation and get a travelcard instead of the HEX ticket they might have got, ie that TfL should compensate them for every passenger they carried. If they charged TfL on that basis, then there is a hint of ripoff if they made every effort to disguise the availability of travelcards. But did they? Does anyone know? |
