Livingstone bought TfL back under public control and upgraded the buses getting a huge number of people using them again. Also, was successful in supporting the London 2012 bid.

Johnson made huge improvements to cycling in the capital, and was successful in supporting the delivery of the London 2012 games.

Khan's promise to freeze fares has left a £700m shortfall in TfL's budget. All infrastructure schemes apart from Crossrail are on hold. Crossrail is late and hugely over budget suggesting the shortfall will continue for longer. He said he would increase targeted stop and search. Actual stop and Search is lower than ever, more people are getting killed than ever.

He also got in a pointless twitter spat with the president of america.

I did and I posted a link that, at a quick glance, didn't say it was making money back in March.

I couldn't find anything more up to date so I asked how come

In any case, if you make an assertion surely you have the data to support it, a matter of moments I would think.

So what did I miss?

My apologies Penge

I just saw it says 'marginally profitable'

Well I'll go to the foot of our stairs, how does that happen? I am guessing this is some imaginative financial engineering but, in any case, your point is made.

But my point is it might be marginally profitable now, but is stil a white elephant regarding the 60 million plus it cost and the loss making up to now, and i might as well throw in the west ham stadium fiasco on boris to, forgot that one, but anyhow, like i said, theyre both useless egotistical money wasting overpaid useless cnuts and i would scrap the post like a previous poster said!

I rest my case badger, i rest my case!

Giving free travel to under 16s and over 60s might have helped with this, rather than upgrading the buses.

Optimistic as ever

It was mainly introducing the technology improvements - live departure times, announcements of stops, oyster cards. Gone are the days of guessing when the next bus will come or guessing where to get off. No need to worry about having the right change.

I'm fairly sure the free factor was bigger influence in increased passenger numbers than those.

I never had a problem with asking the driver to shout me when I was at a destination, if I didn't know it.

Optimistic as ever

Reading through the post, I can't see him getting re-elected.

I'm glad I posted this thread as I genuinely wanted to know what he has done. I thought there's bound to be someone who would stand up for him, maybe a labour supporter but not one. There's still time.

Interesting about the 700 million, black hole in TFL finance, I didn't know that, although I find in hard to accept that the only reason for this is a fares freeze. The rate that fares have been going up over the last 25 years has been scandalous. We have one of the worst services in Europe and the highest fares, so I'm lead to believe. I travel a lot and do notice that the standard of public transport is much better in Europe and the fares lower. How do they do it?

I do think London needs a Mayor. A good mayor can have a very positive impact on a city, I just feel that we have the post but no one in it.

I definitely agree that he appears to be a self serving individual.

I may have run next time.

What do Hol'ers want to see in my manifesto. I am here for you, Let's make London Great again, Yes we can. I want a London that works for everyone not the few, we are a big society, it's time for change.
