Is public transport expensive in the cost of living in London?

Public transport is a major part of the cost of living in London, but it is still more affordable than owning a car. A monthly Oyster Card for Zone 1-2 costs around £160, and prices increase if traveling across multiple zones. Bus fares are a cheaper alternative, costing £1.75 per ride, with a daily cap of £5.25. Cycling and walking are also great cost-saving options. Many people also use railcards for discounts on trains, which further helps in cutting travel expenses in London.
