TfL bus fares
Jun. 29th, 2022 01:00 pmI am off with L for a long weekend at one of Newark's twin towns. Train times made it sensible to stay with a friend last night and while we walked to the station this morning, we took a bus yesterday.
Looking at the statement for the bank account earlier this morning reveals that TfL were going to take out 10p?!?
I was about ask if there was some offer I had unknowingly taken advantage of, but between St Pancras and somewhere in the Kent countryside, they've actually taken £1.65.
Presumably tapping in generates a small 'is this valid' amount each time, and the actual amount is worked out later.
I would be tempted to try getting on to eighty buses (the daily cap being £7.70 for inner London) and see what happens, but that would not leave much time for anything else...
