You asked
I am aware that when travelling on Tfl’s network, if you don't touch in and out on the yellow card readers, you may be charged a maximum fare.
I am looking to find out:
1) How many in total over the past year have not tapped in (or out) on a journey, and been charged the maximum fair. If it isn’t possible to do this for the full year, please do it for a smaller timescale.
2) If possible, please break this down by month.
3) If possible, please tell me how many people were charged each of the following fares:
Area Peak* Off-peak
All stations in Zones 1-9 £7.80 £5.40
Broxbourne, Hertford East, Ware, St Margarets and Rye House £7.80 £5.60
Chafford Hundred, Grays, Ockenden and Purfleet £7.90 £6.90
Shenfield £8.90 £6.10
Watford Junction £8.90 £5.70
