This report investigates concerns that the Mayor's Transport Strategy offers very little to improve travel options for the majority of Londoners. Transport for London admits that 'Outer London is the area of greatest challenge to public transport'. The report recognises that good work is in progress and improvements are being made to bus services for outer London in the short term, but it has concerns for longer term, lasting solutions. Offering people better information about their travel choices, following the example of a project in Perth, Australia, could make a quick and cheap impact on reducing car use in outer London. Transport for London should promote travel plans with councils and businesses in outer London and pilot other initiatives such as shared taxis at interchanges. The report also sets out the Assembly's concerns that London's suburban rail services are losing out to more profitable long distance services and that TfL and the SRA need to do more to redress this balance.
