Boris to raise London fares by 74% in Jan


by Sunny Hundal    

Yesterday Transport for London quietly announced that they will be raising prices on public transport significantly – by as much as 74% in one case.

Here is a chart on how current Travelcard options will change in price.

Price now in January % change
Zone 1-2 offpeak £5.60 £6.60 17.8%
Zone 1-2 peak £7.20 £8 11.1%
Zone 1-4 offpeak £6.30 £7.30 15.8%
Zone 1-4 peak £10 £10 0
Zone 1-6 offpeak £7.50 £8 6.6%
Zone 1-6 peak £14.80 £15 1.3%

But that isn’t the worst of it. Products like the Zones 2-6 One Day Travelcard will be permanently withdrawn.

This means travellers will have to buy a 1-6 Zone Travelcard instead – meaning a jump from £8.60 to £15 during peak times. That’s an increase of 74%. Off-peak, it’s a rise from £5.10 to £8.00 – a jump of 57%.

There will also be a 50% rise in the Child One Day Travelcard, going from £2 to £3.

Once again – Boris will hit London’s hardest up with his transport fares rises, as he did last year.

And yet it’s very likely the London press will ignore all this and crow about how Boris ‘saved’ Crossrail.

And why are these prices rising? As Adam Bienkov points out:

Approximately one-third of TfL’s funding comes from a direct grant from the Department for Transport (DfT).

Following the Government’s Comprehensive Spending Review (CSR), TfL’s overall grant funding from the DfT has been reduced by £2.17bn in total over the four years covered by the CSR, or 21% in real terms in 2014/15, when compared to the base year of 2010/11.

In other words Boris’ budget was cut more savagely than most other departments.

1. Dawn Foster

Surely this is just to discourage cash fares? How many actually still pay cash fares? Even with ticket office closures you’re able to buy Oysters from dispensers at many stations. I don’t see the 2-6 rise hitting too many people, as almost Oyster nowadays, even tourists. Except me when I’m an idiot and leave mine at home.

2. Mr Eugenides

Yes, as misleading headlines go, this one’s a corker. You should work for the Daily Mail, Sunny.

3. Nick

I think it is fair that Londoner’s pay for London’s transport. Making zone 2-6 travellers pay for travel in central London, on the other hand, doesn’t strike me as very fair.

4. SC

@ Dawn and
From the press release:
“One Day pay as you go caps will mirror the new ticket range and prices.”

So, the headline is correct even on Oyster if you’re travelling around including peak times, but not going into Zone1 you would be capped at £15 next year not £8.60 like this year. How many it will catch, I don’t know.

5. Sunny Hundal

Yes, as misleading headlines go, this one’s a corker. You should work for the Daily Mail, Sunny.

You really are becoming desperate to defend this govt Mr E.

The working out is there above. Even Andrew Gilligan, who will do anything for Boris, agrees:
http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/andrewgilligan/100060098/boris-johnsons-massive-stealth-fare-rises-one-day-travelcards-to-rise-by-up-to-83/

6. Gubbs

Large increases but still good value when you consider the distance you can travel in a day.

7. Carl

I’m with you on the hideousness of the increases. But to repeat what’s said above — awful headline here. There are no tickets that have risen in price by anything like 74%. There was always a massive discrepancy between peak and off-peak prices. Let’s not stoop as low as the other side in our practices.

8. Mr S. Pill

I think a use of the journalist’s fave “up to [74%]” would be more accurate here… more worrying (for me) is the rise in rail fares outside London.

9. SickAndTiredOfWastingMoney

I’M DAMN SICK OF WASTING MY MONEY FOR A SERVICE THAT DOESN’T EVEN WORK!

THE JUBILEE LINE WAS F***ED UP THIS MONDAY AND THE OTHER LINES WERE NOT WORKING BETTER!

AT NIGHT WE HAVE TO WAIT UP TO 40 MINUTES FOR A DAMN NIGHT BUS, MOST OF THE TIME THEY ARE FULL TO THE BRIM OF DRUNKEN MOLESTERS!

I DON’T EVEN SEE THE “IMPROVEMENTS” FROM THE ENGINEERING WORKS WE ARE PAYING FOR!

I AM NOT SATISFIED AT ALL, AND IT’S GETTING WORSE!

10. Ben

The headline is so blatantly misleading it’s actually quite distracting from the real issue this article is trying to highlight.

11. Sunny Hundal

There are no tickets that have risen in price by anything like 74%.

The headline doesn’t refer to specific tickets. If you cut out products, and force commuters to buy other expensive ones – prices have risen for those who have to pay them. FACT.

12. Mark M

How many people buy the Zones 2-6 One Day Travelcard? Maybe it’s just one of those things that isn’t really needed anymore.

It is a misleading headline though – if only because you say raise London fares (note the plural) and then the next line says “by as much as 74% in one case.” Perhaps “Boris increases fares by 74% on [insert description of person who buys a zone 2-6 card]” would be better.

It also doesn’t help to say he’s raising them by 74% and then having a table where the largest number is 17.8%.

I don’t have any great opinion on the fare rises because I don’t live London. Maybe it’s a cunning plan from Boris to drive business out of London and into the cheaper lands of the North, where we could do with those jobs please.
