Which doesn't stop the Mayor, TfL et al continuing to refer to
it as a fares freeze (and claiming the average household will save
around £200 over the next four years).


I take it you have evidence to prove this wrong?


The implication of the manifesto promise was that all households using
public transport [to get to work or otherwise] would see no rise.

But lots of households did see a rise because their fares were


not

capped.

Presumably the £200 over 4yrs is what someone with a crystal ball
guesses that TfL would have raised their fares by in the absence of the
manifesto promise.
