Mayor unveils new Weekend Hopper fare for summer travel

Londoners will be able to travel across the capital’s bus and tram network for a flat fee of £1.75 per day this summer under a newly announced ‘Weekend Hopper’ scheme. The initiative, which runs from 25th July to 31st August, removes the usual one-hour limit on the Hopper fare, offering unlimited Saturday and Sunday journeys for the price of a single ticket.

Mayor Sadiq Khan introduced the Hopper when he took office in 2016, which enables people to pay a single fare for unlimited journeys within an hour on London’s buses and trams. In the decade since, TfL customers have made more than a billion Hopper journeys.

To help raise awareness of the Weekend Hopper offer, three buses on routes 23, 49 and 295 have been wrapped as hopping frogs, with Londoners and visitors encouraged to see if they can spot them all as they travel around the capital over the summer.
