Transport for London (TfL) is expanding its cycle hire scheme by adding 1,400 more e-bikes, tripling the number available to hire. The all-day pass for unlimited journeys of up to 30 minutes is being restored, priced at £3. The move aims to provide more affordable and sustainable transport options for people across London. The Santander e-bikes have proven hugely popular, prompting the expansion.
