Cantelowes Lib Dems

The Lib Dem campaign for a one-hour bus ticket, allowing pay-as-you-go Oyster Card users to pay once per trip, is gathering momentum. Add your support now and help get a fairer deal for bus users.

London Lib Dems believe that a fair bus fare is when you pay once to get from point A to point B, regardless of how many buses you need to take. This is how the tube works, and how buses and trams in many major cities around the world work too. Oyster Card pay-as-you-go users are being cheated, having to pay for each bus they take when they’re only making a single trip.

Cantelowes is quite well connected by bus routes - but many trips require more than one bus. The 390 takes you to Kings Cross, for example, and the 29 and 253 to Camden Town - both are large hubs, where you can get a bus to many parts of London.

The Lib Dems are campaigning for a one-hour bus ticket - just like they have in major cities around the world - to give bus users a fare deal and encourage more people to use public transport. Already hundreds of people have signed the petition - you can show your support by signing up here. The campaign also has a Facebook group. It really can make a difference - the Lib Dems campaigned for half price bus and tram fares for the unemployed, to help them travel around the city to go to job interviews. It took a few years, but finally it happened! So with your support, we can really make a difference and make public transport better.
