£2M Shuttle for Few Cyclists | UK News

from UK News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

TfL’s free Silvertown Tunnel shuttle for cyclists costs £2 million a year—£5,000 daily—but barely anyone uses it, with as few as 51 riders in January. Critics call it a waste, suggesting even the cable car would be cheaper. Officials say usage is closer to 100–130 per day, comparable to the Woolwich Ferry, and are now considering letting pedestrians ride to boost numbers.
