View Full Version : Fairs going up on london tube AGAIN!
a single tube journey goes from £2 to £3 and bus up from £1.20 to £1.50!
benchod aparently needs money to pay for all the repairs and improvesments he was ment to do when he first came in... it will be cheaper that ^ on oyster e.g. £1.50 for a single tube and £1 for bus but not everyone can use oyster!
getting seriously fed up there have been NO improvements from what i can see and this is just another hike in prices in a short amount of time

i think everyone in london should go on strike (yes i know realistically it isn't gonna happen) how funny would it be tho! stupid idiots planning to make west london a congestion zone as well. only a matter of time before the whole of london is made into one!

£3 is steep to go into zone 1, increase it anymore and it's more pricier than a mcdonalds value meal.
Best thing about it is that it will rolled out nationwide if judged successful, so all those people who think it's just a london thing are wrong. There is a group started up a petition against these new charges so if you wanna do something sign it.
were u never a child? :uhh
when i started using the bus it was 70p as far as i can remember :P i got chauffeured round b4 then
40p for an adult fare?!
how much is petrol in ur country?
Yeah 40p to get into town, 80p to get to shopping village, £1.20 to get to Leeds. But I use my college thing and I get half price. :chinese

perhaps they're encouraging kids to use public transport rather than get a car.. hell if i had a freedom pass i'd sell my wheels!
lets go india.. it costs 45p to go from outside mumbai to the centre in first class!

congestion charges have already gorn from £5 to £7...

05-10-2005, 09:52 AM
that ken livingsyone is a joke. he thinks that ppl will agree with him. they obviously aint. he even had the nerve to say that if u dont like it u can always vote me out!! wot sort of campaign is he running? shudnt he be makin the roads safer for other users?? wll yes in his eyes he is coz there will be less drivers on the road which will smack down the amount of road accidents we have but it will also get us drivers angry co we gota find alternative routes. thats enuff abot congestion charges.
fares are ridiculous!!!!!!! its absurd!!! does he think that kids can afford it?? do we have that high salaries that we can afford it. i mean the amount the fckin tax man takes is fckin joke but come on pls!!!! i remember when fairs wer only 40p for a child and 70p for an adult. they jus greedy b4st4rds!!!

don't blame it all on Ken. Oil prices are going up and up so the buses will inevitabley pass on those price hikes to you the good old(literally for some of you!) consumer. May aswell get used to it folks - I like V2's idea of using bikes instead.

for gods sake, it actually seems like u actually THINK you know what u're talking about.
Firstly, yes he's the one making all the changes, but did u ever stop for a second.. actually i'll allow you numerous minutes as to think why? - i didn't think so. His peers are making him the easy scapegoat. London didnt win the 2012 olympics with just what they got now. revenue has to come from all available resources. not only that.. enough of taxpayers money goes to waste as it is that they need to make the money back on the areas they know they can.
Secondly.. you need a finger to point at someone? you want someone to call names at and blame?? well.. i find that either totally ignorant, or totally stupid. they both go hand in hand.. and in all honesty, they both reflect your post!

Update on oyster fares
The Tube Zone 1 Oyster fare down from £1.70 to £1.50 and as the equivalent cash fare will be £3, this will be a saving of £1.50
The Tube Zones 1-2 Oyster fare down from £2.10 to £2 from 7am to 7pm Monday-Friday; and reduced by a quarter from £2 to £1.50 at other times, to encourage greater use at times where there is spare capacity
A single journey in Zones 2-6 will cost £1 on Oyster if you pay as you go, compared to £3 if you use cash
The bus and tram morning peak Oyster fare is frozen at £1; and at 80p at all other times
All daily price caps for bus, Tube, DLR and tram travel are reduced or frozen and are set at 50p less than 2006 adult One Day Travelcard prices
The maximum Oyster single fare that applies on the Tube and DLR outside the hours of 7am to 7pm Monday-Friday is frozen at £2.
Under 16s already travel free on buses and trams and, from September 2006, free bus and tram travel will be extended to under 18s in full time education.
Single cash fares will increase to support the drive to shift passengers from cash to Oyster.
Cash single fares rise to encourage the switch to Oyster. The minimum Tube adult cash fare rises to £3 and the cash single bus or tram fare to £1.50
The adult single fare on DLR, except to/from Bank and Tower Gateway is £1.50. The adult single fare is £3.00 for DLR journeys to/from Tower Gateway and Bank
Travelcard fares increase on average by inflation plus one per cent

because not always possible for people to have oyster e.g. tourists and what happens when people forget their oysters at home or its not working?
we'll all be screwed by the price changes at some point,
plus the fact these prices are going up and theres nothing to show 4 it
