Sadiq Khan freezes Transport for London fares for a year
Transport for London (TfL) fares will be frozen until March next year, Sadiq Khan has announced.
The Labour mayor of London, who chairs TfL, said he “wasn’t prepared to stand by” while passengers pay more for public transport.
Susan Hall, his Conservative opponent in May’s mayoral election, described the policy as a “last roll of the dice”.
The freeze will apply to pay-as-you-go, DLR and tram journeys, and the majority of those fares for London Overground and Elizabeth line trips.
