Should London's transport network be free?

from The Standard

Campaigners are calling for free public transport in London, as travel fares are set to rise above inflation until 2030 - but is it feasible? The Standard’s City Hall and Transport Editor Ross Lydall joins us to discuss the issue, alongside his latest reporting on the worrying rise of fare evasion across London’s transport network.  And in part two, why the Bifana, a traditional Portuguese sandwich, is proving popular with diners in the capital. Sandwich aficionado and food writer Sam Wilson offers a tantalising glimpse into the latest food trend. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
