Sadiq Khan hikes Tube fares AGAIN by inflation-busting 5.8 per cent despite national ticket freeze

London Mayor Sadiq Khan will hike transport fees in the capital by a further 5.8 per cent increase in fares from March, aboce the rate of inflation.

He confirmed the move despite the government’s decision to freeze national rail ticket prices for the first time in three decades.

Commuters using the Tube, Overground and Elizabeth line will not benefit from the freeze announced by ministers last month, which applies only to regulated National Rail services.

The above-inflation rise means Londoners will pay significantly more for their journeys while rail passengers elsewhere in the country see their costs held steady.

Travelcards covering both TfL and National Rail services within London zones are similarly expected to increase by approximately the same percentage.

Individual journey costs will vary depending on zones travelled and time of day, with typical increases ranging from 5p to 35p, per The Standard.
