There will be no more general grants from the government for
day-to-day running of services from 2018 - earlier than TfL thought.


There will nevertheless continue to be a substantial subsidy from London
Council Tax payers.


That's to pay for the "Free if you are over 60" fare


Be very interesting to know its true cost. Ie, if removed, how much the
increase in fares take would be. My guess is not vast, as many use the
free travel for journeys they might not make if having to pay. I certainly
do.
