Just managed to catch a snippet of a debate on this subject on LBC the other day. It was being suggested that Ken Livingstone's reluctance to increase fares significantly just prior to the mayoral election contributed substantially to the bigger than expected rise this time. Of course some will say Mayor Boris is bound to blame his predecessor and/or HMG for this but I'd like to see more detail re the facts and figures before I pass judgement either way.
