Sadiq Khan: Tube cleaners and thousands of other low paid contractors to get free travel in LondonWorkers who clean London Underground and other public transport in the capital are to be given free travel, the Mayor has announced.www.standard.co.uk/news/london/sadiq-khan-tube-cleaners-to-get-free-travel-in-london-b1027991.htmlNot sure what to think on this one. It is a good idea, but the problem is when you are touting to remove it from nominee's this would NOT go down well with other workers. Also as TfL is cash-strapped it just makes things worse.
I do agree with taking the cleaning contracting in-house.

Would anyone know if this includes agency staff working for bus operators please? The Press Release wording is rather vague, as doesn’t define eligible staff of suppliers A person working for an agency isn’t staff of a supplier, as supplier is person contracted to TfL Free travel on TfL services is already given to staff employed directly by TfL, and Oyster cards are also issued to bus drivers and operators of other TfL services as part of their benefit package. The benefit of free travel on TfL’s network to the lowest paid workers, who aren’t employed by TfL, will be introduced for eligible staff of suppliers to TfL by April 2023 www.london.gov.uk/press-releases/mayoral/move-will-help-with-cost-of-living-crisis |

Guess all we can do is wait |
