Freezing Transport for London fares
Mayor Sadiq Khan has frozen Transport for London (TfL) fares across London’s transport network until March 2025.
Freezing fares is a key part of the Mayor’s programme to support Londoners through the cost-of-living crisis. Millions of Londoners are set to benefit from the Mayor’s bold action, with potential savings of up to £90 a year.
The Mayor previously froze TfL fares from 2016 until 2021, before the restrictions imposed on TfL by the Government’s funding conditions during the pandemic. Today, fares are 21 per cent cheaper than they would be had they risen by inflation.
As London emerges from the pandemic, the Mayor is freezing TfL fares once again, to get even more people onto public transport and offer a boost to London’s cultural, hospitality and leisure sectors. It will also make it more affordable for workers to commute into the office more regularly.
Which fares are frozen
The following TfL fares are frozen until March 2025:
- all pay as you go fares on the bus, tube, tram and DLR
- most pay as you go fares on the London Overground and Elizabeth line
- single and return paper fares.
The Mayor only has the power to set fares on TfL services. Travelcard prices and daily and weekly caps are set with the train operating companies, and reflect the government’s rail fare policy.
