Councillors in Shetland looking at a two YEAR free transport plan

The Brazilian government is looking at the options to abolish public transport fares NATIONWIDE!!! Come on UK politicians, you have ALOT of catching up to do

Many Londoners would get out of their cars and use public transport if fares were cut, a new survey shows. This story quotes Fare Free London, saying that abolishing fares would "help us to move away from a car-centred transport system.

The best news is from Glasgow, where the city council will run a trial free public transport scheme – for 1000 residents, for six weeks. Hopefully the start of something bigger and bolder.

The government has said NO to free bus travel for under-22s in England, and NO to mandating a minimum service levels for buses.

Mamdani has promised to make NY buses "fast and free", plus free child care for under -5s. The win has international resonance. If New York city can consider making buses free, so can London and other big world cities.

Fare Free London and other campaign groups will keep calling for a wide-ranging review of fares that would look at universal free public transport.

"London’s public transport should be entirely free, say campaigners, echoing New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani's proposal to remove fares from New York's buses." More publicity for @farefreelondon.bsky.social, in Forbes magazine. www.forbes.com/sites/nicole...

State-owned Scotrail scrapped peak fares this week. Meanwhile rail fares across the UK could go up 5.8%. Public transport finance could & should be radically overhauled to release it from dependence on fares. Read our guest blog from @farefreelondon.bsky.social on the case for fare-free transport.

"Public transport finance could & should be radically overhauled, to release it from dependence on fares. We in @farefreelondon.bsky.social advocate a system that is not only publicly owned, and generously funded, but also free at the point of use." peopleandnature.wordpress.com/2025/09/04/b...

👏 @farefreelondon.bsky.social - all the right people in the room to build support for free public transport. Pearl in her intro explained free fares would mean she could afford to visit her grandmother more often. Clear case based on public health, cost of living, workers’ rights and climate.

We have a fascinating interview with a researcher in The Ecologist about free public transport in Ukraine, read more here:

Fare Free London got positive coverage today in three media outlets. The bottom line? Key to improving the lives of the worst-off Londoners is more investment in public transport. Read more here:

Free public transport hits at social injustice in Krivyi Rih, Ukraine, one of the largest cities that has it. But it doesn't & can't fix lack of investment or "market" profiteering. My interview with Denys Gorbach in @theecologist.org @farefreelondon.bsky.social theecologist.org/2025/aug/27/...

@farefreelondon.bsky.social covered very positively in the Metro today. metro.co.uk/2025/08/27/l... ‘It is about getting back to the idea of public services, provided by the state. Transport systems should not be there to make anyone loads of money, but to provide the service people need.'

We got some positive coverage in BBC News today. With "concerns that ordinary Londoners are avoiding Tube travel due to soaring costs, potentially increasing the number of vehicles on the road," we demand a "complete rethink" of funding. Read here:

No one should be prevented from making a journey they want to take because of a lack of toilets on the transport network. Great to see these new toilets opening. Thank you for leading on this Caroline and all the brilliant campaigners in London.

In last minute concession, Tfl offers free buses and a bike shuttle bus through Silvertown tunnel. But @pedalme.bsky.social tells us their bikes won't fit on the shuttle. @londoncycling.bsky.social @farefreelondon.bsky.social www.salamandernews.org/tfl-offers-f...

FareFreeLondon group's first meeting with the Greater London Authority was "a positive start". They pressed for a commission to be set up, to consider the feasibility of free public transport in the city. Read their press release below

Good to see positive coverage for our @farefreelondon.bsky.social campaign in the Evening Standard today. www.standard.co.uk/news/transpo...

Enemies of public services say - free transport for over-60s is "unsustainable". @farefreelondon.bsky.social says - no it is not. MORE people should have it.

Amanhã à tarde falo sobre a experiência do Brasil com Tarifa Zero com o pessoal do @farefreelondon.bsky.social em um evento sobre Justiça Climática. Transmissão online via Zoom, dá para se inscrever aqui www.londonclimateactionweek.org/event/free-f...

Hse of Comm Transport C'ttee wants free buses for under-22s. Yes. But why only u-22s? Why only buses? Why not a bold move to free transport for all? Good questions by @farefreelondon.bsky.social @tippingpointuk.bsky.social @getglasgowmoving.bsky.social & others. www.farefreelondon.org/posts/1064-2

“If the government brought forward a viable, long-term funding model to make public transport free for everyone, that’s a call I would absolutely support.” - well said @carolinerussell.bsky.social @farefreelondon.bsky.social www.mylondon.news/news/zone-1-...

Our next organising meetings are on 2nd September and 23rd September. They are open to the public, and we welcome new members. Please email us at info[at]farefreelondon.org if you would like to join or find out more.

When the stingy defenders of social inequality started their crusade against Londoners in June, Fare Free London hit back with a press release that was reported here:

Watch out! Nasty economists are out to cancel free travel for the over-60s! See this report in MyLondon here:
