    He would have my vote - if I had one.

    It just about sums up most peoples atttitude to the London Mayor.

    Maybe I should change my picture to him?

      Try travelling by train. The buses have gone to **** since all the free-rider scrotes learned how to play music on their mobiles, the tube is overloaded unless you travel at midday. The taxis are ok - but just ask any taxi driver about how Ken has made their lives 'easier'.

      Ken should be buried up to his neck in scorpions.

        I deliberatley stay away fromt he trains, but then Ken hasnt got his hands on them yet. Dont get me wrong, the transport isn't "sorted" yet. Perhaps I should of said "started to sort out the transport". After years of decline its going in the right direction.

        All these thing have happend under ken:

        1. Congestion charging
        2. Oyster cards
        3. Squllions more busses
        4. Extending tube hours at the weekend.
        5. Station refurb program.

        Oh, and he even managed to cancel summer this year to solve the problems with heat exhustion. What a man.

          Thanks to 'Kin Ken, my gf pays over £11 to get into work and back every day, on a service that is unreliable. The pricing on the trains has gone up 'in line with TFLs charging policies', The District Line staff still can't distinguish between their rear and the bend in their arms, and £2 to take a bus for a one-off journey? That's a rip-off by any standards. I thought he was going to be tourist-friendly?

          Munter. Shoot him before anyone else suffers.

              I have one - many others don't, including tourists. Know what you mean about station refurbs, wish the railcos would move on that one and sort out all the commuter stations.

                This is what Ken has done:

                Buses now cost £2 for a single cash fare anywhere in London, on the tube it's £4. Gets a bit cheaper if you use an Oyster though, but hardly a bargain.

                Tubes are rammed. I mean chock-full, packed-to-the-gills, no-more-room. I once waited ten trains until the rush hour had finished before I could get on one.

                Buses are generally hot, uncomfortable, unsafe and are driven by rude people. They also smell of urine. Granted there are more of them these days, but that just spreads the misery.
                Cats are evil.

                  Thats the point though isnt it, we want the network to become cashless, for the same reason the slots in vegas now pay out little slips of paper instead of real cash. It costs a fortune to process all that loose change.

                  So, for the record. Busses are a quid. Central tube journey is £1-50

                  The tubes have always been packed at rush hour.

                  You catch different busses to me.

                    The last time I went on the tube was in 2004. It was only because the Heathrow express was out and it was lunchtime. The crowding scares the crap out of me. I don’t know how people can go through that every day.
