Really? You think £1.30 to get a bus as far as you like is expensive? and £4 to get as many buses as you like in a day is expensive?

  Maybe not for you. I did a little calculation at http://listentotaxman.com/ http://listentotaxman.com/ and put in the minimum wage for a 37.5 hour week. If you need to take a few buses to get to work, over 10% of your £190 weekly pay packet gets eaten up on travel. It's definitely cheaper (though less flexible) than running a car on your own, but some of the costs of a car can be spread between more than one person, which isn't the case with public transport. However, I was pleasantly surprised to see that teenagers now get free bus travel and discounted Tube fares. I could've done with that a few years ago!

    London doesn't allow you to tranfer to another bus with a single ticket? Here in Ottawa busses are $3.25 and about to go up, and I think that's more than fair. (I suppose pun intended)

      Yeah, London doesn't have transfer tickets. It's annoying. At any rate, if you take more than 2 buses per day then getting a monthly bus pass/travelcard is cheaper.
