London's recent fare increase has elevated it to the position of the world's most expensive city for public transport. Last weekend, Transport for London raised fares, with daily caps for zone travel increasing significantly. A comparative study of major metro systems revealed that while specific single ticket prices vary, London's 24-hour ticket pricing is considerably higher than that of Berlin and other cities like Paris and Washington. As fares continue to rise, commuter dissatisfaction grows, raising concerns over transport affordability in the UK capital.
The recent fare increase in London has made the city's underground train network the most expensive in the world, outpacing Berlin and other major cities.
Transport for London raised prices, with Zone 1 daily caps reaching £8.90 and across zones 1, 2 and 3 rising to £10.50, causing significant concern among commuters.
Research indicates that while London's single fares are not the highest, its 24-hour ticket prices surpass those of Berlin, making it the priciest globally.
Compared to other cities, London's transport fares like the standard £2.40 single are disproportionately high, being triple those of Seoul and double Madrid's.
