Introduced by Sadiq Khan last September, the new Hopper bus ticket has been credited with reducing the cost of travel for many low-income Londoners and transport bosses say it’s already changing how passengers use bus service helping to change demand for specific routes.
One long-term proponent of a one-hour bus ticket, Liberal Democrat Assembly Member Caroline Pidgeon, has now obtained a breakdown showing which were the most popular routes passengers ‘hopped’ on during February 2017.
TfL says it collated this data as “a one-off piece of analysis” to support March’s release of the top ten routes but that it doesn’t plan to routinely publish this information, released to Pidgeon’s office under FOI, “due to the amount of work required to extract this data” but may periodically update us all through press releases.
