In response to Transport for London’s (TfL) launch of a new consulation into bus services in the capital, Local London Assembly Member Anne Clarke AM, said:
“London’s buses are the jewel in the crown of TfL’s transport network. They keep our communities connected and provide a lifeline to elderly, disabled and low-income Londoners and the workers that keep our economy and public services going through the night.
“No one wants to see any routes cut, anywhere. But the Government has placed TfL in this position through its unrealistic demands and continued refusal to provide a fair and long-term funding deal.
"I am now urging local people, businesses and organisations to take part in TfL’s consultation and join me in calling upon the Government to provide the investment needed to stop these cuts”.
