:ROFL:

Truth be told I have used my oyster card twice in the last few months, still seems to be a fair hike. Probably common knowledge to the people use them everyday.

[Hedders]

£1.20 minimum fare?

Wow, i remember when it was all fields round here.

It was 10p then.

[elster]

That's a bit cheap for a bus.

The great philosipher Homer Simpson put it best....

"Public transport is for jerks and Lesbians"

[XJSJohn]

last time i was in the UK minimum fare was 60p!!!!

and that wasn't that long ago!!!

Minimum fare here is 50c (or about 20p)

[dudleybloke]

its 1.20 for a short hop and 1.70 full fare round here and has been for over a year.

[AdamD]

Thats still half the price of getting a bus out here in essex, ~ £2.40 for a one way 3 mile trip

[The_Burg]

£1.20, thats madness. Why do Londoners moan about having to pay so tiny an amount?
Cheapest transport in the country by miles.

[900T-R]

Whoa - 1.3 euros for getting about in London, hardly worth wearing out the soles of one's shoes then

[Ry_B]

£1.20 is well cheap.

I had the displeasure of using a bus the other day (car went into a garage for some work) and it cost me £1.80 for the plesaure of doing a 1 mile journey.

[AJS-]

At that price, is it still worth going to sign on?

[okgo]

Listen you bumpkins, I was just saying it's gone up lol, I know it's still cheap, bit seeing as lots of people in London get 4 buses a day it can cost a bit! The prices in Hampshire were laughably high!

£1.20 might be low, but when you consider it can take two buses and a tube (gone up as well) just to getto work, and the same back again, that all adds up to a lot of money. It costs me £300 a month just to get to work.

It's not like elsewhere in the uk where on bus gets you to your destination.
