At MQT on 20th October, you said that "you cannot get much beyond what we are expecting people to pay" on Underground fares. TfL's Five Year Plan states that if fares don't rise above inflation, other charges must be raised further to compensate. Does this mean that you plan to raise bus fares further to pay for the Underground, or that you plan to raise the Congestion Charge further, to pay for both?

At the MQT on 15th September, you told us that you're having to put fares up because the government didn't give you enough money. According to TfL's five-year investment programme, you have no option but to increase fares - "To ensure that this investment programme can be financed, the Plan is predicated upon above-inflation increases in fares, the congestion charge and other transport-related income". Isn't it the case that you are obliged under the terms of the plan to increase fares, and that it has nothing to do with the government?
