Our Political Correspondent has It can be a daily grind, and a daily

expense. Londoners are used to the cost of their transport leaving

their pockets a whole lot lighter. Part of the reason is that the Mayor

has increased fares, but could he now have a solution to put him back

in the commuters' good books? It is an idea that has been running in

America for more than a decade, allowing commuters to write off

travel costs against their wages, meaning they pay less tax. Londoners

questions. I want to know who it applies to. I don't know what will

happen? Will it just apply to buses, or other forms of transport? Will

this apply to commuters as well or other forms of transport? Will

people living in London? I don't know what sort of transport it would

be. We did ask the Mayor's office for the answers to this question,

but they said this matter was now government. His opponents say it

isn't good enough. I think the Mayor should be sticking to his previous

commitment to bear down on fares, and I don't think we have ever seen

him do that. The fares have gone up every year over and above wave
