Extortionate ticket prices in London

Londonders know what it's like to be fucked around by the transport here. We get taxed stupid on loads of things and we have stupidly high transport prices. Why!?!? The Tube and trains are grime-infested, slow, death traps which barely get to the stations on time and year upon year upon year we get the prices bumped up. This year it went up a HUGE amount! I was paying £102 a month for my monthly Travelcard and it went up to £112! Ridiculous! And this is most probably down to Transport For London (who run the Tubes, buses and trams). So I decided that I'm NOT going to pay this stupid amount of money just to get to work and am now going to just pay a monthly ticket into Charing Cross. I can walk to work from there (around 15-20 mins) and I save a huge amount (it's around £60-ish so I save £50!). Much better. Up yours Ken Livingstone!
