Fares frozen for a third year...
11 January 2019
Pay as you go fares across TFL Tube, DLR and bus services (as well as the cost of hiring a Santander Cycles bike) are still the same as they were in 2016.
This is part of the Mayor Sadiq Khan’s continuing commitment to make these services affordable for all Londoners – at a time where National Rail fares have increased.
TFL believe the fares freeze has helped millions travel more affordably, while cushioning London from the drop off in passenger numbers seen elsewhere around the country. By 2020, the freeze will have helped the average London household save around £200.
