00:00 - You're TFL is always looking at and reviewing
00:01 our fare structure and stuff.
00:04 I'm incredibly proud.
00:05 We've got now the Hopper fare,
00:06 unlimited bus travel within an hour.
00:09 We've got the cheapest bus travel in the country,
00:11 which is remarkable bearing in mind how expensive
00:13 London is compared to the other parts of the country.
00:16 We've got caps on our fares.
00:18 We are looking at though,
00:19 the different journey times people take.
00:21 So what was historically a rush hour,
00:24 it's actually a rush hour,
00:25 but it's Monday to Thursday,
00:27 busier weekends and evenings, London is back.
00:30 And so we are looking at how we can make sure
00:33 that we continue to have a fair system.
00:38 We know for example, poor Londoners use bus and tram more.
00:42 So we deliberately focused on bus and tram,
00:44 but we are looking at issues around
00:46 tubes and overground as well.
