It's worth looking through the introduction text to see what changes
have been made.


"TfL has seen the biggest fall in journeys for economic reasons in over twenty
years, particularly on the Tube, where demand had fallen by 6%. In total, a fall
in revenues of around £3bn over the course of TfL’s Business Plan to 2017/18 is
now projected. This fall in revenue is also compounded by other pressures,"


Funny how you never saw a statement in past years like "Demand has increased
along with the corresponding revenues, so we need to reduce fares."
