Khan fares u-turn

For a Bromley or Bexley commuter (and I would guess also for
Kingston-upon-Thames), "[a] plan to freeze all TfL fares for the next
four years, so you will not pay a penny more in 2020 than you do in
2016" is just a lie.
Croydon too.
Not if they use buses, trams or LO services.
Travelcards and daily caps haven't been frozen, just single tickets.
In any case, it's not a lie: he never promised to freeze anything other
than TfL fares. Most boroughs are served by a mixture of TfL and NR
services, and he only promised to freeze the former.
His manifesto was ambiguous, also saying "Londoners won't pay a penny
more for their travel in 2020 than they do today."
With hindsight he should have been asked to clarify.
Sadly (and mentioning no specifics) the majority of Stay/Leave
propaganda is equally flawed at such a basic level.
