Default West London Line - what recession?

Compared with other urban transit systems that I utilize, London's
fares seem unreal. Journeys cost many times their equivalent in say
Atlanta, Louisville, or Los Angeles.


But ignoring the "penalty" cash fares, they compare very favourably
with the rest of the UK.

London's costs, including transit fares, are a factor in making London
and unattractive metropolis in which to do business.


I'm not sure that those making such decisions for big business care
about the price of using buses and trains, as such people will tend to
use chauffeur-driven car services instead (or at the very least
taxis).
