30 years of the penalty fare on the London Underground
Briefly

London Underground estimated it was losing around £30 million a year, or about 5 percent of its revenue, to fare dodgers.
our aim is not to catch people and force them to pay a penalty. It is to encourage them to pay the correct fare in the first place
If a fare-dodger is believed to be regularly or maliciously defrauding London Underground, he or she could end up with a £1,000 fine or a jail sentence
London Underground also announced plans for a £10 million investment in ticket machines to reduce fare fraud and also introduced the option to buy a fare-extension ticket before travelling.
