Transport for London (TfL) is expanding its investigations team to combat fare evasion, aiming to reduce the current rate from 3.5% to below 1.5% by 2030. Despite low rates compared to global standards, fare evasion costs TfL around £130 million annually. The focus will be on persistent offenders, who not only cause significant financial loss but also create an intimidating atmosphere for staff and passengers. TfL plans to deploy more enforcement officers and improve gate designs while employing data analysis techniques to strategically target those causing the most revenue loss.
TfL's investigations team will utilize ticketing data, passenger insights, and CCTV to target persistent fare evaders more effectively, aiming to reduce evasion rates by 2030.
