People not from London can stop complaining too. Londoners deserve
cheaper fares, in fact we pay in part for the costs of the Underground
through our council tax so I'm perfectly happy to no longer subsidise
tourists and visitors who, for whatever reason, do not adopt Oyster.

My parents in Putney in a much larger home pay a lot less council Tax
than I do in Cambridge. So I reckon I pay more to support TfL through my
general taxes than they do.

That's because Wandsworth has the lowest CT in the country (or did last
year when I lived there). Try looking nextdoor at Richmond (where I
live now) - it's twice the price!
