Underground Fares

[Chickadee]

Hi All

Got a question about the underground and trying to ring TFL is a nightmare!

I am getting tube to St Paul's and being charged £2.70, I get off and later get on again to go to Holborn, would I be charged another £2.70 or would it be classed as same fare as in same zone?

Hope that makes sense!

Thanks all.

You'll be charged two fares but they won't both be £2.70.

Since you've not told us where your starting from, I can't confirm a definite fare for the first journey. However your reference to a £2.70 fare suggests that you're travelling from either Zone 3 or Zone 4, using an Oyster pay as you go card, at an Off-Peak time. ('Peak' times are from 0630 to 0929 and from 1600 to 1859, Mondays to Fridays). If so, that bit's correct.

Your second journey is then charged at £2.10, irrespective of the time of day (because there's no difference for Zone 1 fares)

If you only travel at Off-Peak times (and don't go beyond Zone 4), the maximum you'll be charged for the whole day is £7.70, irrespective of the number of journeys you make. If some of your travel is at Peak times, the maximum you can be charged is £10.60.

each time you use exit barriers your journey is over.

Aaagh! Typo!

I really do know the difference between "you're" and "your", honestly!
