This January the Mayor of London plans to raise fares by six per cent, with some increasing far more: the price of a single bus journey on Oyster will go up by 11 per cent, to £1. Yet at the same time the Mayor has cancelled investment to improve the city's transport system, and is throwing away millions of pounds by cancelling measures like the planned £25-a-day charge on the worst polluting cars, like Chelsea Tractors, in central London and taking one of the richest parts of London, Kensington and Chelsea, out of the Congestion Charging Zone. At a time of financial crisis the Mayor should be helping Londoners by holding down fares and investing in key public services like transport. He is doing the opposite, hitting ordinary Londoners in the pocket. We demand that January's above-inflation fare increases be cancelled.
