London Mayor Boris Johnson was in Greenwich today to launch a new fares concession for war veterans which entitles anyone in receipt of a pension under the War Pensions Scheme or the Armed Forces Compensation Scheme to free travel in the capital.
Boris Johnson has announced a raft of fare increases which will see a single Oyster Pay as You Go bus trip increase to 90p plus higher costs for bus passes and season tickets. Overall fares will increase by six per cent in 2009.
Boris Johnson’s campaign team have revealed more details of his ‘Veteran’s Pass’ scheme which was announced in today’s Sun.
