You know I've been as questioning of Londons leadership as most on this forum, but I've actually had a chance to sit down and talk with the Mayor recently, and one thing I asked her was about transit as I use it, and the area of the city I live in doesn't have good transit coverage.
She said the city does have a short term plan to expand coverage and that an LRT line is something they are considering, the expense for such a project however is why they have kept it simply on the city planning room floor.
That statement resulted in alot of questions from me, mostly about inovation and partnership with the private sector to reduce the cities finacnial commitment to which I got a big "well that's something we've been considering" . I have to admit that the conversation left me still with questions, but sadly the mayor had to continue serving tables. It's really funny having the mayor of the city bring you a beer, if any of you want to exeperience that you should try Friday Night Lights, Saturdays shes there and its generally slow so she actually has time to chat, and she didn't seem to mind as I tried to be as polite as possible without saying "Why is the city doing NOTHING to prepair for the future?!"
