Bus prices go up – Transport for London runs posters saying they’ve gone down

By | Sat 24th January 2009 - 8:55 am

A quiz question for you: back in September last year, Transport for London increased the price of a single bus ticket using an Oyster from 90p to £1. So what would you expect to see on posters on London buses during the last week?

(Pssst: the headline to this post may give you a clue.)

Yup, they are running a series of posters (spotted on more than one bus) saying Oyster single tickets have gone down in price:

Bus prices have gone up, but the posters say they've been cut

TfL bus prices poster

Up? Down? What’s the difference between friends?

(Thanks to our London Assembly member Caroline Pidgeon for confirming the figures about bus price changes. As she says, “Despite what Transport for London might be telling people, the only breaking news is that Boris Johnson has put up bus fares across London by 11%!”.)
