  • National Rail prices are definitely out of control, and the London Underground is definitely too expensive as of now. But the latter is the only London-specific transport issue, and something that can’t be helped until the government starts increasing the budget for TFL and allows them to subsidise journeys even more. I don’t see this happening, though. London is basically demonised in the press for being too rich, too diverse and full of the metropolitan elite. Funneling even more money to London while continuing to ignore the crumbling infrastructure in other parts of the country is a sure-fire way for the next government to become unpopular
