Transport for London (TfL) will run its “Weekend Hopper” promotion, offering unlimited bus and tram travel for the price of a single fare, on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays from July 25 through August 31.
The promotion marks the 10th anniversary of the introduction of the Hopper fare. The Hopper fare allows free bus transfers within one hour of the first journey on a bus or tram. During the promotional period, passengers will be able to travel all day for £1.75, instead of the usual £1.75 per journey with a daily cap of £5.25. The discount will be applied automatically.
For example, traveling from Piccadilly Circus in central London to Heathrow Airport’s Central Bus Station at noon on a Saturday, passengers can take four routes—94, H91, 222 and 111—and reach the airport in around two hours, normally costing £3.50. Taking the Piccadilly line takes 48 minutes with no transfers and costs £5.90.
TfL had initially planned to raise the single fare to £1.85 in July, but extended the fare freeze until November 1. The current fares were revised in March 2023, and fares have been frozen seven times over the past decade. The Hopper fare has been used one billion times to date.
