As figures revealed that use of the Thames cable car has fallen nearly 50% compared to December 2012, Caroline Pidgeon, called for the service to be free for those whose travelcards include Zone Two, and said:
"Last week barely 2,000 people were using the cable car every day," she said. "The number of people using it has plummeted over the last year.
"We also know that it has a minuscule number of regular users each week. To just add to its problems the latest evidence shows that even occasional users are increasingly less inclined to use it again within six months.
"It is time the Mayor and TfL faced up to the fact that there is a very serious problem with the way it is currently run. These pitiful passenger numbers are embarrassing for a publicly funded transport project.
"Hiking up prices in the New Year will just lead to even fewer people using it in 2014."
