MIL-OSI United Kingdom: Violence and lost revenue: Fare evasion and its impact on TfL

Source: Mayor of London

Transport for London (TfL) has estimated that the lost revenue caused by fare evasion in 2023/24 was “more than £130m”.1

A TfL report also found that fare evasion and payment disputes are the cause of around half of all incidents of violence and aggression towards its staff.

Tomorrow, the London Assembly Transport Committee will ask what TfL is doing to tackle fare evasion and learn more about the impact it has on staff.

The guests are:

Panel 1: 10am – 11.30am

  • Jared Wood – London Transport Regional Organiser, RMT
  • Michael Roberts – Chief Executive, London TravelWatch

Panel 2: 11.30am – 1pm

  • Siwan Hayward OBE – Director of Security, Policing and Enforcement, TfL
  • Jonathan Gronow – Analysis Manager, TfL

The meeting will take place on Tuesday 8 July at 10am in the Chamber at City Hall, Kamal Chunchie Way, E16 1ZE.

Media and members of the public are invited to attend.

The meeting can also be viewed LIVE or later via webcast or YouTube.
