  • Reference: 2023/0156
  • Question by: Nick Rogers
  • Meeting date: 19 January 2023
The reason why it is not currently possible to pay for multiple family members with a single credit or debit card is the daily cap.

Bus Cut Savings (3)

  • Reference: 2023/0153
  • Question by: Nick Rogers
  • Meeting date: 19 January 2023
Given that delivering 3.7% of bus cuts across the whole of London would have saved £35 million per annum, please can you give a detailed explanation of how reversing 78% of the 1.6% cuts constituted by the Central London Bus Review would cost £25 million a year?

Outer London Cars that are not ULEZ-Compliant (2)

  • Reference: 2023/0150
  • Question by: Nick Rogers
  • Meeting date: 19 January 2023
