Passengers using London's transport network today are facing up to an increase in fares.
The average price has risen by 5.6% with Tube, bus, London Overground, Docklands Light Railway, boats and Tram services affected.
The cost of a single ticket on London Underground from zone one to two will rise 8% - from £2.50 to £2.70.
Transport for London (TfL) said the rise was to ensure transport upgrades and frontline services were protected.
Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, said the increase would have been greater without £136m of extra government money.
TfL said the investment programme which the increased fares fund, includes upgrades to the Tube and the delivery of Crossrail - the east-west rail line.
