'...Sadiq Khan is freezing all fares on buses and trams and all pay as you go and paper single fares on Tube and DLR services.'
Daily and weekly caps cannot be included because they're set with Train Companies under guidance from the Department for Transport, the Mayor does not control them
Haven't long picked up an email from Tfl about their fares.

(25 Nov 2016, 6:34 pm)Andreos1 Haven't long picked up an email from Tfl about their fares.
It goes on about bike hire/access charges being frozen as well as PAYG journeys where Tfl fares apply.
After the closing salutation the email continues
It isn't just me is it?

(25 Nov 2016, 9:25 pm)Andreos1 Didn't he drop fares before freezing? Rather than just freezing them as they are.
One aspect of the London Transport reforms was however maintained; the new system of flat fares within ticket zones, and the inter-modal Travelcard ticket continues as the basis of the ticketing system.From:- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ken_Living...ort_policy
The GLC then put together new measures in the hope of reducing London Transport fares by the more modest amount of 25%, taking them back to roughly the price that they were when Livingstone's administration took office; it was ruled legal in January 1983, and subsequently implemented.

An excellent initiative. One that could be replicated elsewhere?

In addition to the bother across Manchester, the tories seem insistent on causing issues with public transport in London.
