"Mr Hufton added: "Modernisation of the Tube means that it is our
intention to close all ticket offices, used in less than 3% of journeys"

As ever, it would aid transparency to know what the percentage was if
they excluded season tickets (to a first approximation I won't insist
that an annual season ticket bought at a ticket office counts as 400+
journeys).
