Scrap free travel for London's over-60s

Free travel for Londoners over 60 has cost Transport for London (TfL) £84 million in lost revenue in the last year, prompting calls for the scheme to be scrapped. The 60+ Oyster card, which allows free travel outside peak hours, has seen its cost to TfL soar significantly. This comes as TfL faces funding challenges and rising public transport fares in the capital. Critics argue the scheme disproportionately benefits wealthier seniors, while supporters highlight its role in preventing social isolation and supporting unpaid care work. TfL is reviewing its concessions to ensure affordability.
