The previous Mayor announced on the 7 October 2011 a ten-year sponsorship deal for the Thames cable car. Since the commencement of the cable car passenger numbers have been dismal after its temporary popularity during the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. Ahead of the renewal of any sponsorship deal will you make a commitment to a totally different ticket pricing policy which actually encourages people to use it on a regular basis, such as charging regular users no more than a bus fare.

Many young people and parents would welcome clarification concerning the proposed ‘2 mile rule’, if the under 18s free travel is scrapped due to an imposed policy by central Government.
