Bus and tram users across London are set to benefit from another four months of frozen fares until November 2026, as announced by both the Mayor and Transport for London (TfL).
The extension to the previous freeze marks the seventh in the last ten years, with single fares remaining in place at 1.75 GBP since March 2023.
Running until 1 November 2026; the freeze also coincides with the Mayor’s Weekend Hopper offer, which allows travellers using buses and trams on a Saturday or Sunday during the summer holidays to pay one single fare for unlimited journeys across London that entire day. This offer will run from 25 July to the end of August – including the Bank Holiday Monday.
Once the freeze has concluded, a single adult bus and tram fare is expected to increase 0.10 GBP to 1.85 GBP, or 0.05 GBP for eligible concession card holders, whilst the price of the daily bus and tram cap would increase 0.30 to 5.55 GBP – marking the third time the prices have increased over the past decade.
The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, said:I'm pleased to extend the freeze on bus and tram fares for another four months, and will continue doing everything in my power to keep TfL services as affordable as possible, as I know the cost-of-living crisis is still hitting many Londoners hard.
My Hopper fare has enabled millions of people to save money on bus and tram travel over the past decade, and now the exciting new Weekend Hopper will make it even cheaper and easier for Londoners and visitors to enjoy all that our great city has to offer this summer.
I know that buses and trams are a real lifeline for many Londoners, and I'm determined to keep them the most accessible and affordable modes of transport in the capital as we continue building a greener, fairer, better London for everyone.
