The capital’s first ever Transport Commissioner has died at his home in New
England aged 80.

American Bob Kiley was recruited by former Mayor Ken Livingstone and spent
six years as Britain’s highest paid civil servant, earning £2 million.

The former CIA agent headed Transport for London during the introduction of
the congestion charge and fought the part-privatisation of the Tube.


Overpaid and didn't achieve very much. Apart from that, where the hell did
that 15 years go??
