The final countdown

It beggars belief. I can see how knowing the lights are just about to turn red is helpful, so you you don't step into the road too late, but how on earth does the man think that *shortening* the duration of green lights is going to help anyone??? Some of them are already too short as it is! And what about the elderly, or disable people? Watch this space for the 30 metre wheelchair dash at the next London Paralympics.

Seriously. Livingstone, love him or hate him, but he did a great job for London's non-car travel and London as a whole. Ok, he did make some mistakes, but nobody's perfect and on the whole he really improved the quality of life in town.
And what does Boris do, almost before the votes are in? Remove the 50% discount on public transport for the unemployed. Fair enough, people can walk, much healthier and cheaper. Errrr... wait a moment... you can walk, as long as you keep to the same side of the road you started from, that is.

And how is that going to help make and keep London eco-friendly? Really shows who his friends are - and no, they're not London pedestrians.
