Did you know at the start of this year fares across the TFL network increased on average by 1%
More specifically,10p was added to the cost of a Zone 1 and Zone 1-2 peak fare. Fares beyond Zone 6 have increased by 10p too.
That means a return tube journey from Oxford Circus to Tottenham Court Road now costs £4.80. Over a year that cost equates to nearly £5,000.
Save yourself £5,000 and do the 4 minute scoot instead.
