Speaking to the Evening Standard, Member of Parliament for the Cities of London & Westminster, Nickie Aiken, called for a rethink into who runs Transport for London following years of the Mayor of London proving he is not fit to run TfL.
Nickie commented,
“Sadiq has proven he is not fit to run TfL. I think it’s time that the Department for Transport looked at taking it off him. We can’t go on like this. Something has got to give.
“Every few months Sadiq goes cap in hand, without any proper strategy to turn TfL’s finances around apart from cuts to services. I have run a £3bn organisation. I know what it is like to face Government cuts, but you find efficiencies and new ways of working.
“I have been inundated with concerns from constituents, particularly the over 60s, about the bus plans that Sadiq has got to cut their bus or change it so dramatically that they will have to get two or three buses to get to their destination.”
