i checked out the TFL price schemes and more or less, Tube is twice as
expensive. are the running costs of a bus service really that much
cheaper than running the Tube? (the capital cost of building the
underground was forked out 50+ years ago) or is it just that people
are willing to pay more for the convenience of no wait travel? just
curious. thanks.

I expect the average tube trip, even in Zone 1, is more than twice as
far as the average bus trip.
