Last time I went, I only used one bus, and walked everywhere else,
making the £6ish ticket rather expensive.

You can still pay for each journey in cash. Dunno for how much
longer.

Yes, but at £4.50 a throw.

Hopefully not between Covent Garden and Leicester Square.

Afraid so! Minimum fare I understand.

Do you lot have discounts for pensioners?
In Aus NSW pensioners can travel on boats trains and buses all say in
the city for a one off ticket of a few dollars.

London residents get a 100% discount, visitors get nothing.


They (me !) get 100% on local buses pretty much anywhere. I went from
York to Whitby, which took 2.5 hours, but the the rail ticket to Kings
Cross was IIRC £4, and then free again back to Kent. Crazy system.

It's the cheapest vote winner ever because, when it comes to it, most
pensioners can't be bothered to go anywhere much.
