So what is it: 2,000 more or 1,000 less?


I rather suspect the 2,000 jobs are jobs in the wider economy not in
TfL / LU. That's how I read it.


Given the number of taxi and bus drivers it'll put out of a job, I'm not
sure where the increase in jobs outside TfL will come from.


The 'night time economy'. Which, in the case of London, is very much a
real thing. Dare I say perhaps one needs to see it to believe it.
Certain places (not just the west end) are busy.

Not ladies of the night, surely?
