For a Bromley or Bexley commuter (and I would guess also for
Kingston-upon-Thames), "[a] plan to freeze all TfL fares for the next
four years, so you will not pay a penny more in 2020 than you do in
2016" is just a lie.

Croydon too.

Not if they use buses, trams or LO services.

Travelcards and daily caps haven't been frozen, just single tickets.

What about daily bus caps?


In any case, it's not a lie: he never promised to freeze anything other
than TfL fares. Most boroughs are served by a mixture of TfL and NR
services, and he only promised to freeze the former.

His manifesto was ambiguous, also saying "Londoners won't pay a penny
more for their travel in 2020 than they do today."

With hindsight he should have been asked to clarify.

Sadly (and mentioning no specifics) the majority of Stay/Leave
propaganda is equally flawed at such a basic level.

Much more so. Much of it consists of outright lies, not just selective
quotation or careful qualifications.
