No ifs or buts, it is time the Mayor delivered a part-time travelcard – Caroline Pidgeon

Caroline Pidgeon, Leader of the Liberal Democrat London Assembly Group, commenting on the Mayor's statement made today at City Hall that he has asked TfL to work on ticketing products which specifically address the needs of part-time workers:

"I welcome the Mayor's new stance on this issue. Only months ago he totally rejected the idea, as he has over the last three years when I presented the idea at each budget round. The Mayor should stop hiding behind excuses from TfL officials and finally deliver a part-time travelcard.
"Travelcards at present only provide a good deal for people who work a conventional five day working week."

"It is time that people who work part-time or work regularly from home are not penalised by an old fashioned fare structure."
