Default New Year fare rises

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/7597062.stm

Bus and Underground fares in London are to increase by an overall figure of
6% from the New Year, London Mayor Boris Johnson has announced.
Some fares will be cut, including a new off-peak rate aimed at encouraging
people to travel after 0930.
Mr Johnson blamed the rises on the "largesse" of previous mayor, Labour's
Ken Livingstone, accusing him of creating an £80m financial hole.

suggests Ken would have made similar changes...
