Show Notes
Londoners will have to pay more in transport costs from March 2026, as mayor Sir Sadiq Khan has revealed that tube fares are set to rise.
The cost of a single tube journey in zone 1, central London will be hiked by up to 7.1 per cent, which is about double the current rate of inflation.
According to details published by City Hall, most Tube and train fares – for TfL services such as the Elizabeth line and London Overground – will increase by a maximum of 20p, although many fares will only increase by 10p.
For the first time in years, bus fares will also be increased, although not until July.
The Standard’s City Hall and Transport Editor Ross Lydall is here with the latest - and also shares what action he’d take if he were London mayor for the day.
