One of Khan’s first big moves? The Hopper Fare—a bus ticket that lets you hop on another bus within an hour for free. Sounds boring, right? But if you’ve ever had to run errands across three boroughs, you know this is revolutionary. Suddenly, dropping off dry cleaning, grabbing coffee, and picking up a friend’s keys doesn’t cost you a fiver in bus fares. It’s like the mayor actually remembered we’re not all rich.
Before this, Londoners were paying twice—sometimes thrice—for short, awkward trips. Now? You just tap, hop, and get on with your day. Side note: if you haven’t used the Hopper yet, you’re missing out on free money. Seriously, go touch grass, then take a bus.
