Free Transport in London: 25/08

HostelBloggers are a (fairly) upstanding, law-abiding bunch. But we felt that it was almost our civic duty to put the cry out there that today, Friday 25th July, transport in London is free.
Not for any high-minded reason, we hasten to add. But rather because of the usual bungling. You see, there’s been a technical glitch and the system’s gone into meltdown - which means you won’t be needing an Oyster card (as helpfully pictured above!) or a ticket.
So if any cash-strapped backpacker wanted to really get value for money on transport in London, today’s the day to do it.
Let’s hear it for administrative incompetence!
