Wrong! Almost the opposite is true.

Not about the service. The one time I took the tube to work last week there
were delays on the piccadilly and central lines. Its always nice to have
my decision to commute by car vindicated every time I take the tube these days.

Ken Livingstone held fares down for as long as he could get away with it
even

One of the things IMO Ken was good at was transport (shame about his tedious
racial agenda bordering on obsession) and part of that was keeping the fares
down. He got the point that the tube is a public service, something which
Boris doesn't seem to grasp.

On transportation Ken Livingstone was excellent. And, the municipal
level is one where socialist policies are appropriate, provided they
are paid for by those who live and work in the metropolis.

However, Ken was so despicable with regard to meeting with terrorists,
and caustically anti-Semitic remarks, I could never support for him.
