On split-entrance one-man-operated buses the 7p, 12p and 17p fares, which were reduced by ip last year, will go up by lp to bring them into line.
For journeys within the .Greater London area the present 20p maximum fare will be reduced to 12p, except during Monday to Friday morning and evening peak periods and between 3 and 4.30am when special night fares apply. The new maximum will not apply for journeys on routes or sections of routes outside Greater London.
