The ?4 for a single is massive, yes, and is part of the Oyster marketing drive, as well as crowd control (if you're fit and able, I don't see how getting the tube from Bank to St Pauls would be quicker than walking anyway). Essentially, RATP want to get people on to their network, and TfL wants to get people off the busy bits of theirs.

And they can't be expected to build a fare structure around people forgetting their Oyster card. A system of reclaims, yes.


The London Underground do not care about overcrowding, that's for sure. If they do get worried about it, they shut the barriers and make you wait in the station. ?4 for a paper ticket has little to do with that.

I'm sure revenue has something to do with it. ?32 million was raised last year from Oyster fines, ?18 million of which was due to people not touching out. They only repaid ?800,000.

High ticket prices = more people using Oyster. More people using Oyster = more fines. More fines = more revenue.
