The Mayor of London, Sir Sadiq Khan, highlighted the positive impact of increased penalty fares for fare dodging, which rose from 80 to 100. This measure has shown effectiveness in reducing fare evasion, with rates falling from 3.8% to 3.4% after the change. Despite claims from City Hall Conservatives about the severity of fare evasion, Khan noted that London’s rates are still lower than many cities, including New York. However, current fare evasion remains above TfL's target of 1.5%, indicating a need for continued efforts.
Increased penalty fares for fare dodging are showing positive impacts, functioning effectively as a deterrent to fare evasion in London's transport system.
