Lib Dem Leader on the London Assembly, and Transport Committee chair, Caroline Pidgeon AM, today welcomed Transport for London’s plans to reward people who make their journey on foot or by bike under a new incentive scheme, saying:
“This incentive scheme is a very welcome step by Transport for London as it is exactly the kind of thing I pushed for in my report on walking last year.
“Around a quarter of all journeys in the capital are already made on foot but rewarding people with offers and discounts should help get even more Londoners walking.
“The more people who walk or cycle, the fewer people there will be on overcrowded trains and buses, improving the transport experience for everyone.”
You can read more about this initiative on the BBC website and on the TRL transport news website.
