That is the same in many major cities with sky high overheads. In Barcelona I paid about 4Euros for the equivalent of a one day travel card rather than E20 for a hop on/off bus trip. Some people are prepared to pay for convenience. Otherwise a little research and a decent guidebook can save you a fortune. And they charge nearly that for soup in the very ordinary pub round the corner from me. Though while any one would ever want to drink soup beats me ..... now if you want to send soup to Mordor....
