Transportation
Transportation
What: 1-day Travelcard (zones 1-2), London

Cost: £6.60, or $13.53

VERSUS

What: 1-day Fun Pass, New York City

Cost: $7

Bottom line: Taking the Tube will cost you about twice as much as riding the subway in New York, but it's still one of the cheapest and easiest ways to get around London - even Mayor Ken Livingstone has been known to ride it.
