Single fares will go up by as much as 5.3 per cent, or between 10 and 30 pence in cash terms. Single fares using Pay as You Go will also rise by between 10 and 20 pence per journey, a rise of between 1.8 per cent and 4.5 per cent depending on the zone.
The biggest rise affects zone 1-6 off-peak day travelcards which will rocket by 34 per cent, going from £8.90 to £12.00.
The changes to the Pay as You Go Cap are expected to cost around £20m. The move will be funded by ending paper travelcards for zones 1-2 and ending the lower off-peak Pay as You Go fare caps. The average rise across the differnet fares is in line with inflation.
