Request ID: FOI-2201-1819
Date published: 17 December 2018

You asked

I recently discovered an Appendix to a TfL document (link attached below) which gives information about the number of London Underground journeys that are made on different TfL fare products. I am interested in the number of London Underground journeys made on Travelcards (daily, weekly, monthly, annual) as opposed to PAYG. Please would you let me know what percentage or share of journeys made on London Underground are made with Travelcards (including Oyster Travelcards but not including PAYG (either Oyster top-up or debit or credit cards)) for the period 1 January 2015 to present. Please provide the information by year (i.e. 2015, 2016 etc. or 2014/2015, 2015/2016 etc.) Alternatively, if you don’t have percentage information, please would you provide me with the total number of journeys made on London Underground and total number made with Travelcards for the period 1 January 2015 to present. Please provide the information by year (i.e. 2015, 2016 etc. or 2014/2015, 2015/2016 etc.) https://www.london.gov.uk/moderngov/documents/s9678/Minutes%20-%20Appendix%201%20-%20TfL%20Fare%20Products.pdf
