London Mayor Sadiq Khan has launched a new initiative, 'Let's do Fridays', introducing off-peak fares on Fridays as part of a £24m trial aimed at encouraging more Londoners to use public transport. The scheme allows older Londoners with 60+ London Oyster photocards or Older Persons’ Freedom Passes to travel for free all day on Fridays. This includes access to TfL and National Rail services before 9am. The initiative is expected to save commuters approximately £1.20 a week. It has been met with enthusiasm, with Anne Clarke AM, a London Assembly Labour member, noting that the world is watching the trial. The fare freeze is the fifth since Khan took office, despite criticisms of his tenure focusing on issues such as knife crime and nightlife decline.
It’s time for Sadiq Khan and his woeful “tzar” Amy Lame to face the music. Khan’s mayoralty has destroyed London’s once great nightlife. Knife crime is surging, red tape is stifling, bars and restaurants are closing. My article on how to fix this mess👇 https://t.co/EkJtB9toRE

Sadiq Khan has been Police and Crime Commissioner for 8 years in London. If you want to know why the Met faces a confidence crisis from both the public and frontline officers, look no further than its leadership. Totally incompetent and hiding from responsibility, as always.
