When johnson was mayor he immediately reversed Ken’s £3(campaign)decrease, then a few months down the line a £10 hike (literally) and now £4.60 (just so we cant call it a £5 increase). Clever boys huh? My wages have decreased. I CANNOT AFFORD THIS!!!!!!! I am a low-scale public sector employee.

Boris is cutting the cost of driving and raising the cost of public transport – who does this benefit? and who is going to pay the EU fines for pollution levels?

Boris is a charlatan – he is merely laying turds for the next mayor to find under the carpet.

The Public Transport Service should be Solely About Public Transport
Service Not Capitalist Profiteering
