Mr Khan commented on the substantial increase in investment, stating, "This announcement by the Government of an almost doubling of our capital investment compared with last year means that we can maintain, renew and grow public transport in London." He emphasized the positive impact this funding would have on various projects, including the Piccadilly, Elizabeth, and Bakerloo lines, indicating a proactive approach to modernizing the city's transportation infrastructure.
He acknowledged the challenges faced previously, saying, "Last year, I had asked for 569 million, and received only 250 million, which posed significant hurdles for planning and executing essential transport projects. However, this investment goes a long way in addressing those limitations and allows us to move forward effectively." This reflects the mayor's ongoing struggle to secure adequate funding while highlighting the current government's more favorable stance.
