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.

Thanks for making my point.

Whilst there are, realistically, only 2 options it's likely to remain the case. It's a big ask voting for complete unknowns in any serious election so the big two benefit from the inertia and resulting apathy, knowing they can basically say pretty much what they want and still have a good chance.

Khan and now is, however, the subject of this thread and all the pre-election guff about being different was clearly just a lot of hot air. Despite being a bus driver's son he's really no different from the rest and an even bigger let down to the ordinary people he made so much fuss about representing.
The silence from the rose tinted crew is truly deafening...
