What are the bus fares in London?

Bus fares in London for immediately subsequent buses?

• In my country when you use a means of transport, you may use the same ticket without paying extra in another means of transport. This is particularly beneficial if you want to go from destination A from C but there is not any direct transportation, so you get off at destination B and then take B to C bus. Is there such practice in London?

• Answer:

  That isn't how it works on the buses, no (although in my opinion it should be). If your journey requires that you use two separate buses then you always pay for two individual bus journeys, so it will be £2.70 each way. However, remember that there is a daily price cap of £4.20 on the buses. Therefore if you make the journey twice each day (to work and back for example) you'll actually only be paying £4.20 each day, which is a bit more economical and only slightly more expensive than the tube, plus you can use as many other buses as you like those days without paying any more (the tube price cap for Zone 1 is much more). Alternatively you can buy weekly bus passes for £18.80 or monthly for £72.20, which will work out cheaper if you use the buses very frequently.
