Khan's cunning plan - part 2
Part 1 was expanding the ULEZ and encouraging those people that can't afford a new car to use public transport instead.
The official reason for ULEZ is to combat non-existant air pollution. The real reason is to raise money from the £12.50 that some car drivers and most van drivers will be paying to drive in the zone.
Part 2 is Khan's announcement that he is scrapping the Travelcard. So instead of being able to pay one price, then being able to do multiple journeys all day, week or month, people will have to pay for each journey by contactless or oyster. And with all those potential new travellers that have been forced to switch from car to public transport, it's going to be another cash cow.
