The Lib Dems are currently in the process of hustings and balloting. All
four candidates have submitted a two-page manifesto to members, with the
full set available at:

(Warning: BIG file)

Their transport pledges are as follows:

Brian Haley:

* Review all bus routes into London
* Reduce the number of large vehicles coming into the city *
* Bring canals back into use
* Make it easier to walk and cycle
* Wants to negotiate a no-strike deal with the unions

(* It's not clear in a number of candidates' material whether by "the
city"/"the City" they mean the Square Mile or the whole metropolis.)

Lembit Opik:

(Note - it's emerged that Opik didn't write this manifesto himself, and has
since pledged to sign off everything going out in his name. Given the
approach on some issues - particularly "explaining" why he lost
Montgomeryshire - I reckon the author is Ed Joyce, director of
Lembit4London.)

* Encourage working from home
* Run some tubes 24 hours, exploring all options, refusing to be "defeatist"
and making passengers pay for their journey

Brian Paddick:

* Hold down fares, to be financed by "scrapping Boris Johnson's vanity
projects"
* Maintain the bus fare subsidy
* A clean-air zone for central London with action on high-polluting vehicles
* Hand over some TfL land for affordable new homes

Mike Tuffrey:

Policy pledges are rather light on the manifesto but amongst the snippets we
get:

* Campaign to bring London's trains under the Mayor's power
* Fight for cleaner air
