Why no one believes Livingstone on fares

#Kensfares

Ken might believe what he says about transport fares but the feedback that I get is that very few other people do. He has too much history of saying one thing before an election and doing something else afterwards to have any credibility on this issue.

If we want London to stay at the forefront of world cities we have to have a decent transport system, decades of under-investment have to be compensated for.  No one likes fare rises or service disruption but we would like it less if we started to lose out to international competitors when it comes to tourism income, inward investment or economic development.
