Default New Fares

I don't think that a cash fare of GBP3 is intended to be seen as
reasonable. It is set at that level to encourage people to use
alternative methods of payment.


Except that it's presumably going to be the fare on which
the NR Cross London transfer and outside London ODTC
increment is going to based. As these people don't have the
option of Oyster why should they be ripped-off?


An outside London ODTC is based on the travelcard price
plus whatever the rail company charges to the boundary
of Zone 6. The ODTC1-6 has gone up by 30p. The Zone 1
tube single doesn't even come in to the equation.
