2014 commuter fares hit £5,000 barrier

Although some commuter fares should not rise by more than 3.1% from 2 January, there are some new price shockers. Those commuting from parts of Kent will now be shelling out more than £5,000 a year in season tickets (Deal, Kent to London, for example).

A Bedford-London commute now costs £4,300. These costs, of course, don't include subsequent Tube or bus fares. %VIRTUAL-SkimlinksPromo%
