London fare dodgers shock: 200,000 Tube journeys are unpaid ever day – as number of law-breaking passengers spikes

• Fare evasion is rising across TfL services, with around 1 in 20 Tube journeys unpaid — roughly 400,000 dodged trips per weekday, costing about £200m a year

• Tube services have the highest evasion rate (up to 5.3%), and critics say social-media-fuelled fare dodging is becoming “normalised”

• Critics have called for more ticket barriers (especially on the DLR) and the establishment of a fare-evasion taskforce
