Excerpt: ---quote--- London's mayor is to cut £7.6bn from the budget of Transport for London (TfL) over the next seven years. TfL is already in the middle of a £5bn "savings programme" but the RMT union said the new cuts target "defies belief" and will lead to job losses. The extra £2bn cuts will mean passengers could see fares rise by 2% above the inflation rate - an annual rise of 7% - for the next four years. [...continues...] ---/quote--- A slightly muddled story I feel, though perhaps that's because I've rather lost the thread on the overall budget cuts situation given the various different announcements over the past few years. (But £2bn on top of £5bn doesn't come to £7.6bn!) |
