A reminder of times past!

Cash fares set to end on London buses from this Summer – Lib Dem GLA councillor Caroline Pidgeon sets out her concerns that remain for night term bus users
 
The beginning of the week saw the Mayor announce that later this year cash fares will end on London buses from this Summer.  Commenting on his announcement Caroline said:
 
“The long term decline in use of cash fares on buses cannot be denied.  Nor can we overlook the fact that cash fares are a bad deal for passengers while at the same time are very expensive for TfL.
 
“It does also seem that TfL have listened to some concerns raised in the recent consultation about these changes.  I especially welcome the provision of a ‘one more journey’ feature on Oyster, as well as a review of the Oyster Ticket Stop network to see if additional locations might be necessary.
 
“However, I remain concerned about young people facing problems travelling on night-time buses if cash fares are completely ended this Summer.
