HC Deb 11 March 1996 vol 273 cc471-2W
Mr. Key

To ask the Secretary of State for transport what arrangements are in place to ensure that, in central London, bus journeys between the same stops attract the same fares whatever the number of the bus service on the route or the operator; and if he will make a statement. [20240]

Mr. Norris

Fares on London Transport bus services are set by London Transport. With certain exceptions, fares in central London are determined by a zoning system, and are not related to the operator and route. Special fares apply to journeys on night buses, limited stop express services, and the Red Arrow network. For any local service provided independently of the London Transport network, fares would be a matter for individual operators.
