TfL Ref: 4563-1718

Thank you for your email received by us on 17 February 2018 asking for information about fares revenue during peak and off-peak periods.

Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act and our information access policy.  I can confirm that we hold some of the information you require. You asked for:

May I know the FY2015/2016 total fare revenue during peak (6:30am - 9:00am + 4pm - 7pm) and offpeak periods, for Underground+Overground+DLR, and bus+tram separately? Thank you.

The following tables list our estimates of 2015/16 revenue on London Underground, Overground, Docklands Light Railway (DLR), Buses and Tram.

I can advise that we only hold data for 2015/16 by ticket type rather than the starting time of a journey; therefore the Peak columns indicate whether the ticket type can be used during peak hours.

Underground + Overground Peak 2015/16 Revenue
Oyster PAYG Yes 69,321,167
Contactless Yes 22,392,317
Season - Point to Point Yes 983,179
Period Travelcard Yes 66,559,908
Peak Day Travelcard Yes 1,131,496
Paper Singles and Returns Yes 3,833,805
Cheap Day Return No 634,294
Off-Peak Day Travelcard No 2,829,192

Please note that our reporting systems do not record the same level of ticket disaggregation for DLR travel, consequently the following ticket types are provided:

DLR Peak 2015/16 Revenue
Paper Singles and Returns Yes 6,608
Day Travelcards (Peak and Off-Peak) Yes 7,695
Period Travelcard Yes 69,825
Oyster PAYG and Contactless Yes 74,235

I can advise that the same fare is charged throughout the day for bus travel. Consequently, the ticket type will not indicate whether journeys are likely to have been undertaken during the time periods outlined in your request.

Bus 2015/16 Revenue
Day Bus Pass 4,181
Oyster PAYG 563,808
Contactless 149,629
Bus Pass Season 275,978
Off-Peak Day Travelcard 8,753
Peak Day Travelcard 2,620
