Can one be banned from TfL services?
<p>Btp are often keen to advise that station staff are entitled at their own discretion to refuse members of the public carriage or entry to the stations like any privately owned business and it becomes then a civil matter between the parties.</p>
<p>But tfl is paid for by the public as an essential service with taxes.</p>
<p>Other private businesses are able to permanently ban one from admission to their places of business. Can tfl do the same?</p>

<p>Yes.</p>
