I think the implicit assumption was that people
living and travelling within the London boroughs mainly pay TfL zonal fares
for the Tube, Overground, trams and buses. Relatively few travellers within
London are paying fares set by TOCs, and hence unaffected by the freeze.
But in most remarks and promises, Sadiq explicitly made clear he was only
referring to TfL fares.

The problem is that he didn't. Hence the need for the embarrassing
u-turn when got into office and saw the books.
