Rejected petition cut tfl fares to make transport affordable and reduce fare dodging

I would really like to put into consideration the fact that TFL is very expensive and i think travelling has become even more expensive due to inflation, so i’d really like the opportunity for people to pay affordable prices for transport.

More details

I think people should not be forced to pay by card as much as they do now because the trains are very expensive and it would also reduce people from bumping trains and not following the TFL staff rules due to the fact that not many people can afford paying these fares and I think it’s really important that you should put into consideration that the fact that not everyone has a lot of money but still need to travel to work every single day and school every single day, but it’s just not in their price limit
