Caroline Pidgeon welcomes the One Hour Bus Ticket

Caroline Pidgeon, Liberal Democrat London Assembly Member, commenting on the news that an unlimited number of trips within an hour will be allowed on a Hopper bus ticket starting from next year, said:

“For a decade I have campaigned for a 1-hour bus ticket so the introduction at long last of this policy is incredibly welcome.

“People who need to switch buses simply to get from one place to another should not be penalised. The 1-hour bus ticket is just what London needs.”

Commenting further on the start of a weekly cap on Oyster sometime in 2018, Caroline said:

“It is grossly unfair that there is a weekly cap on contactless payment but not on Oyster. Boris Johnson even promised that a cap would be introduced by 2015. This major anomaly should have been addressed many years ago.”
