Default Fares going up 28% on January 4th

The cash fares in outer london are going up 30p (approximately 43%) to
£1. This is despite the fact that the supposed carrot to make us stop
paying cash, the availability of prepaid cards won't in fact be
available for months to come on the buses.


TfL aren't really putting up the prices. Its merely a way of
encouraging people to get an Oyster card (prices staying the same for
Oyster users). Just remember that when your paying more money.


except that you can't actually use Oyster yet for single bus fares

It's not ready yet and won't be for months to come.
