Its great for that TFL has again frozen fares for , but this is in stark contrast to the rest of & where Govt. 'intervention' has limited rises just under 5%.

What is needed is a range of bodies across the regions with similar powers to TFL & a similar outlook about the social worth of .

To adapt the old saying of socialism for the rich & capitalism for the rest of us... its a public transport for London & cars for the rest of us.

@ChrisMayLA6 yes, and transport for London gets absolutely enormous levels of subsidy

6 times 471 is?

Fairly certain London serves 1/6th of the UK population in terms of volume.

so 2826 would be the cost if we scaled east of England to London costs.

Don't get me wrong, the london centricity doesn't help the UK; but where do folks go to get £££? London, that is where.

@lewiscowles1986 @peterbrown @ChrisMayLA6 This looks like it's per head/capita so population size already taken into account

Fair point. I'd like to get a link and see how they measured that then.

@lewiscowles1986 @heapy @ChrisMayLA6 well if you look at the image above, it states the source as being HM treasury so perhaps you’d like to ask them.  Here’s another version.

I'd FOI them, but I don't think linking mastodon posts, no matter how well intentioned will help.
