I am interested because you have a record of making promises on the forfeiture of cards issued and then finding there are problems with enforcing them, which takes time and sets up expectations which are not always met.

Thank you, Mayor. I was very surprised at the strength of the response that came back through my e-panel on this one and, in particular, how many young people also find it irritating. There is a sense in which playing music out loud on buses is a bit like graffiti, it is aggressive and it gives people a sense of they are not safe, it is not a controlled environment. I am pleased to hear what you say about the campaign on bus stops. I do want to have an assurance that TfL will address this seriously and I do...

Do you not feel it is important to have some idea about whether this is going to cost money or make money? Transport for London's own admission was that the western extension was going to break even. The impact of what you announced the other day is going to be important.

In that case I am going to make a positive suggestion. Have you thought about getting them into the same room and finding out what the problem is and urging them to change their minds?

Mr Mayor, I am a little confused. Who are you referring to?
