BBC: Lib Dems call for London fares freeze funds to go to Met Police
Rob told the BBC he would reverse incumbent mayor Sadiq Khan's "phoney" fares freeze and give the money to the police instead.
Rob Blackie said the freeze would mainly benefit tourists because it applied only to pay-as-you-go fares, while travelcards and daily and weekly "caps" would still rise by about 5%.
He pledged to invest the money in more officers and faster reform of the Met.
"While the headline sounds good, many Londoners won't feel the benefit and will be shocked to find out after the election that their travel costs continue to rise despite Khan's election promise,"
"What Londoners do feel the effect of is the lack of police on our streets and the chaos surrounding the culture in the Metropolitan Police. That's why I've pledged to reallocate that money to where it's needed most."
