Fare freeze: Mayor Sadiq Khan

Sadiq Khan today formally confirmed he will freeze fares across the Transport for London network until the end of 2020.

The Mayor officially published next year’s fares package which City Hall claims will save around £200 for the average household.

However, the Mayor only has the power to set fares on TfL services so travelcards, and the associated daily and weekly caps, are expected to go up in line with inflation.

Mr Khan promised during his election campaign that Londoners would “not pay a penny more” on their travel, so is calling on Government to follow his lead and freeze fares on London’s suburban rail services.

However, bus and tram tickets, Pay As You Go journeys on the Tube, DLR and TfL rail will all be frozen, as well as Boris bike hire charges.

TfL chief Mike Brown said: “Freezing fares help make our network more affordable for Londoners. Our efficiency programme allows us to deliver this while still providing the transport services London needs and also continuing to invest for future demand and growth."
