London NowPassengers travelling between Covent Garden and Leicester Square—two consecutive stations on the Piccadilly line in central London—are charged a full Zone 1 fare of £3.10 during peak hours, despite the journey covering just 260 to 270 metres.
The short trip has long been described as one of the most expensive Tube journeys per metre, with the £3.10 fare translating to a staggering per-mile cost.
According to 2015 data reported by The Daily Telegraph, around 490 people make the trip each day, with most of them believed to be tourists.
