Visitors to London to face higher fares

Single bus journeys to go up to a minimum of £3.00 for those without oyster cards. This increase in bus fares is 3.8 per cent above inflation. On the tube the Zone 1 single, cash fare will increase from £2 to £3, and the zone 1-6 single cash fare will be £4.00. Travelcard prices will also increase by about 4%, and the Family Travelcard will be withdrawn.

These increases are supposed to fund investment in London Transport – haven’t we been told that before with the congestion charge? It is just another tax on London. If everyone has to buy an Oyster card to travel, then make it much easier to buy one. London is already seen as a very expensive city for our visitors – not just tourists - what’s your view?
