London 2012 will post about eight million paper travel cards with Olympic tickets.
The free tickets scheme is available to all 2012 ticket winners and it comes as the Olympics chiefs promised car-free Games, essential to confirm London’s environmental credibility.
Free 1-9 zone travel cards will be given to millions of Olympics spectators, including overseas visitors and sponsors, to travel to this world famous sports event.
London taxpayers are worried as they could be landed with a multi-million-pound bill in order to fund free travel for all the Olympics ticket holders, but transport bosses said Londoners won’t pay the bill for the free travel.
The scheme comes as Games chiefs have dropped the idea to top up existing cards belonging to Londoners with free one day travel cards. The previous plan has been scrapped as it was too complex.
