Standard: Blackie criticises fares freeze as election gimmick
19 Jan 2024
Rob Blackie criticised Sadiq Khan's recently announced fares freeze as an "election gimmick". He said:
"Sadiq Khan's flashy fare freeze fools no one. It is typical of a Mayor who prefers delivering headlines to delivering for Londoners.
"We all know the state of Transport for London's finances and so the Mayor will simply claw this back through other means - most likely after votes have been cast. It is simply an election year gimmick."
