Unfair Penalty

Posted in Tubeworker's blog on ,

TfL and LUL are increasing penalty fares on 19th February from £50 to £80.

It's just another way of stinging passengers for money they don't have.

Since the cuts of February last year, the majority of stations do not have a ticket office outside peak hours. If the ticket machines aren't working (because there are no ticket office staff to keep them in service) then passengers can't buy a ticket and often end up being let through the gates by staff.

And now LU is going to punish passengers for this situation?!

You can't have it both ways, LU. Either reopen ticket offices or make public transport free. If you can't provide reliable ticket selling facilities then you should not be making money out of the victims of your cuts.
