- Symbiote 3y agoFares covered 71% of TfL expenditure in 2020/2021. That crashed to 27% during Covid, and is expected to be 65% this year. Around 20% is commercial income (advertising, levies on new commercial buildings). https://board.tfl.gov.uk/documents/s19826/TfL%20Budget%202023-24.pdf https://board.tfl.gov.uk/documents/s19826/TfL%20Budget%20202...
