Saving London’s Day Travelcard is a great decision for sustainable transport, says transport charity

Responding to Transport for London's announcement that the London Day Travelcard will not be cut, Norman Baker from Campaign for Better Transport said:  

"This is a great decision for sustainable transport and the people who use it, and a happy day for our capital and its businesses. Costly and complicated fares are a barrier for too many people when deciding how to travel, so The Day Travelcard is just the sort of simple, integrated ticket that we need across the country if we want to make public transport the easy choice." 

Mr Baker added:  

"Since we launched our campaign to save the Travelcard, hundreds of people have got in touch to tell us how much they value it, including families with children, teens travelling with youth groups, people with disabilities, people struggling with the cost of living, and people who don't use contactless or mobile payments. They will breathe a sigh of relief today."
