London Bus and Tram Fares Rise by 10p from 1 November — First Increase in Three Years

Transport for London's bus and tram fares rose on 1 November for the first time since March 2023. Mayor Sadiq Khan had previously extended the fare freeze, which had originally been set to end in July, citing the ongoing cost-of-living crisis and a commitment to keeping TfL services as affordable as possible. The November rise now brings that freeze to a close. The single adult bus fare and the Hopper fare — which allows unlimited journeys within one hour of tapping onto the first bus — both increased by 10p to £1.85. The daily bus and tram cap went up from £5.25 to £5.55. Concession fares, covering cards such as 16+ Zip Oyster and Jobcentre Plus cards, rose by 5p. Underground fares are not affected by this change; those are typically reviewed in March. London's bus fares remain among the lowest of any city in the country, though the increase will be felt by the many Londoners who depend on buses and trams for their daily travel.
