Londoners are to pay nearly 5% more for Tube and rail travel from March 2025, London Mayor Sadiq Khan has announced.
The hike will come into effect from March 2 2025. The rise is in line with national rail fare hikes across the country. Daily caps will surge by between 40p and 70p depending on what zones are travelled through.Transport for London said the Tube and train fare hikes are just on average, with some prices going up by more than that amount and others by less due to the need to round them.
Khan said in a statement: “Following the Government’s budget, ministers made clear that to secure national funding for key transport projects in the future, TfL Tube and rail fares would need to increase in line with national rail fares.“Vital national government funding will allow us to progress exciting future projects, such as Superloop 2 and more upgrades to the Tube network, as we continue building a fairer, safer and greener London for everyone.
