"Between 25 July and 31 August on weekends, the hour limit price will extend to all day. The offer extends the existing Hopper fare, introduced in 2016, which allows unlimited bus and tram transfers within one hour for a single payment. Transport for London (TfL) has said more than a billion Hopper journeys have been made since its launch."

"Buses are the most widely used form of public transport in the capital, with most households within walking distance of a stop. Three buses on routes 23, 49 and 295 have been decorated with frog-themed designs to publicise the promotion."
