London bus fares to rise by 10p from November

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 17 Oct, 12:08 · Archive

Adult single bus and tram fares in London will increase by 10p to £1.85 from November 1.

Transport for London has announced the first increase in bus and tram fares since March 2023. Adult single fares will rise by 10p to £1.85 from November 1, while concession fares will increase by 5p. The daily bus and tram cap will rise 30p to £5.55. The new price includes the Hopper fare, which allows unlimited journeys within one hour on buses and trams.

Mayor Sadiq Khan had extended a fare freeze in the summer after it was originally set to expire in July, describing it as an emergency cost-of-living measure to support Londoners on the lowest incomes. This was the seventh freeze of bus and tram prices in the last ten years.

TfL stated that London's bus fares remain some of the lowest in the UK, and that this is only the third increase over the past decade, meaning they are still 17% lower than if they had risen in line with inflation throughout that period. The organisation said that revenue raised via fares is reinvested into improving services across London. Price caps for Tube, rail and Travelcards will remain frozen until March next year.
