I think he's been fucking great for transport, when I moved to London buses cost 60p or something for a short journey and a nugget for a long one. Then they made every journey the same high price to make it "more convenient" for everyone, then it was £1.20, £1.50, £2.... but now if you've got an Oyster it's back to 90p, cheaper than it was five years ago, that's got to be good right? Sure bendy-buses are shit but the routemasters had to go as they were terrible for the environment and not accessible if you were in a wheelchair (in contravention of an EU directive I understand) - plus, who actually pays when they go on a bendy-bus? The main thing they have to sort out is making the machines at the stops work, every time you're waiting for a bus you see some some poor sucker (usually me) impotently punching the thing that's just swallowed his money.
The congestion charge is obviously a brilliant idea, just needs to be higher I reckon. Squeeze the fuckers who drive cars right off the roads and then the buses will run better and everyone will be happy. Fair enough there ought to be some kind of discount for businesses though.
With the tubes Livingstone was totally vindicated, he went to court to try and prevent the sequence of events that ultimately ended in the Metronet fiasco. Transport is one of the most important things that the mayor has control of and KL has a good track record whereas Boris wants to cancel the congestion charge. Boris is also a racist - surely not good in the most multi-cultural city in the world (if it's good anywhere).
I liked it when Livingstone called Finegold (is that right?) a concentration camp guard and the Mail group tried to spin it as racist the fucking morons. The Evening Standard and co hate him and have basically turned themselves into big daily adverts for Boris and if that's not a great reason to vote for Ken then I don't know what is.
