Commenting on Transport for London’s 2024 Draft Business Plan, Muniya Barua, Deputy Chief Executive of 91¶¶Òù, said:
“A world-class public transport network is vital to keep London moving and retain its position as a global city.
“TfL’s draft business plan shows that a multi-year capital funding deal is now urgently needed so that the network can be maintained and improved, which will in turn unlock new jobs, growth and housing.
“Investing in the capital’s public transport network not only benefits Londoners but it also helps TfL’s supply chain, which supported 104,230 jobs across the UK last year. We urge the Government to agree a long-term capital funding deal for TfL – similar to those already reached with other city regions across the UK – so that London and suppliers across the UK can plan for the future with confidence.â€
