“A better comparison is with the London Eye, which at £19 for a 30 minute trip, works out at 63p per minute. By design or coincidence, the five minutes you’ll spend in the cable car works out at almost the exact same price, 64p per minute, on Oyster, or 86p for the full cash fare. In other words, the cable car seems to be priced as a tourist attraction, not the integral piece of transport infrastructure we’ve been promised.”
