London: probably 25 miles for £1.50 (https://www.timeout.com/london/blog/how-far-can-you-go-with-the-1-50-hopper-fare-100316 https://www.timeout.com/london/blog/how-far-can-you-go-with-...) or one of the rare £1 EasyBus tickets from Paddington to Luton which would cover around 37 miles.
The second one is not really public transportation though, and we're getting dangerously close to the £15 Ryanair flights territory.
- kimburgess 7y agoPotential competitor: North (Gympie) to South (Varsity Lakes) on Brisbane Australia’s ‘inner city’ train network. 260km (160 miles) for AU$20 (£10.50) - cheaper off peak or with concession. Buses also extend this further in each direction using the same ticket.
- ouchjars 7y agoSydney trains have a more forgiving fare structure for this purpose. Scone to Bomaderry or Goulburn is at most $8.86 for over 300 km straight-line distance.
- Symbiote 7y agoA London Underground fare, off-peak, avoiding Zone 1, is also £1.50. So, Heathrow Terminal 5 to Epping should be a contender. It's around 28 miles. (And being run by a private company can't exclude MegaBus, since almost all public transport in the UK is run by private companies.)
- wopian 7y agoYup Terminal 5 to Epping is possible for £1.50 (2 routes bypassing zone 1). Else its £5.10 direct through zone 1.
