London Bus Fares

EDM number 108 in 2009-10, proposed by Diane Abbott on 19/11/2009.
Categorised under the topic of Buses.

That this House is disappointed at the increase in Oyster pay-as-you-go bus fares and the seven day bus pass by 20 per cent.; believes that this increase will disproportionately affect hard-working Londoners on lower incomes, who are more likely to use buses; regrets that hard working families will be hardest hit, in some cases seeing an additional expense of £263 per year; recognises Hackney Council's Be Fare campaign opposing this decision on behalf of its residents, 82 per cent. of whom regularly rely on buses; and calls on the Mayor of London to reconsider this unfair fare increase.

This motion has been signed by a total of 31 MPs.
