Questions to the Mayor of London – answered at on 28 June 2021.
Thank you for your answer to my question 2021/1467. Will you consider including support for further discounted or free travel for particular groups, such as young care leavers, within your plans for dynamic fare pricing?
I have asked Transport for London to explore whether some form of dynamic pricing could be compatible with ensuring that the fares structure that applies on its services is simple, coherent and encourages use of public transport to avoid a car-led recovery.
I have also committed in my manifesto to ensure concessions are focussed on those who need it most, for instance maintaining young persons travel concessions and asking TfL to develop plans to introduce half price travel for care leavers.
