No they aren't. I suggest you read and fully digest the TfL press
announcement and associated document with all of the fare levels listed
in it.

And the 70p bus fare is going up to £1. I guess the £1 fare is going up
to?

Only if you pay cash. 70p is ridiculously cheap for bus travel compared
to commercial rates in the remainder of the country.

Anyway 25%???? Just a tiny bit over the rate of inflation then?

Not all fares are going up by 25%.

Anyway I think considering LU fares are a rip off already. 25% rise is
just taking the ****.
But then thankfully I won't be living in London by next year. So Im not
all that bothered.

Lucky Yorkshire or wherever it is you are moving to. Tell us when
you're leaving - I'm sure we'll come to wave you off.

I do feel sorry for commuters who to be honest do pay over the odds for
a **** service.

That's nice.

The thing is. LU provide a service like they do. Then charge these
fares. And then can't understand why people are queuing up to bash them.

Here you go again - trying to justify assaults on LUL staff. Have you
tried an anger management course?

No it didn't work. I beat up the course instructor.
Im very sorry. Obviously I thought you would all think when I said bash
them. I meant in criticise them. Not actually physically bash them. Im
very sorry for not making myself clear and causing the confusion that I
was justifying attacking London Underground staff.
Just to make myself aboustely clear for those people who don't
understand.
I was suggesting that London Underground shouldn't be surprised when
people criticise them after charging high fares for a crap service.

Not obvious at all, considering that half the time you actually are
justifying physical violence against them.

Ah, so you'll be leaving the justification of physical assaults against
tube staff for other posts then?
