"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).

I am of similar mind

I thought that the initial claim was only 3% of passengers use TOs

But 3% of *all*TfL journeys is a huge number, especially when you think
that a single ride on the bus counts as one journey and I can't imagine that
many of those start at a TO.

Who is saying it's 3% of ALL TfL journeys? The quote I saw was from
Phil Hufton of LU in the context of LU ticket offices and LU journeys.
