Same old lies same old Labour. |
Pfft. People were blaming Ken Livingstone for things
way into Boris' second term.

No. What happens is that the other transport networks have to be reimbursed by TFL for TFL-paid usage of their network. In this case those fares would not have been reduced making it more expensive, and unrealistic, for TFL to cut fares for them essentially subsidising their usage.
Kahn shouldn't have made the promise. He also made reference to the rising price of travel cards in an article he wrote so it's not unreasonable to expect that would have been included in the price freeze.
