Hi
Looking at going from Westminster/south bank to the ' attractions' at Greenwich and it seems to be EIGHTEEN pounds return with Uber boats

I really want to do river so please don't suggest the train or DLR but have I got this right?

Seems to be right, unless you have a travelcard? That’s gone up since last time I went on it.

You use contactless and it is part of the travelcard but I’d always get the train/tube back as it’s quite slow.

This seems to be for a booked service-to guarantee your commute. You’ll just go and queue.

Sounds right. I paid around £10 for a single from Tower Bridge to Westminster earlier this week.

avocadotofu · 11/08/2023 20:23

That sounds about right, we occasionally use it as an alternative way to travel and I think we paid around that.

Why you getting an Uber boat rather than the river bus?

ladeluge · 11/08/2023 20:25

Oh this sounds very nice. Imagine being able to cruise along the Thames and see all the riverbanks and sights as you float by. Obviously I would not be a commuter, and I don't live in London. So could someone tell me what RBI means please? River Boat something or is it secret code lol.

You can tell I am not a Londoner!

If it's too expensive could you get the boat to Greenwich and the train/DLR back?

ZolaBudd · 11/08/2023 20:38

That’s a good plan

Oh wow my mistake I see it’s considerably more expensive than it was

ZolaBudd · 11/08/2023 20:39

Oh you’re all so helpful thank you. Rb1 is the route.

I don’t know why I’m getting this one 😀
