Background
The air pollution in London is a very large public health issue, shortening the lives of Londoners and leading to 9400 extra deaths per year. The excessive burning of fossil fuels also contributes to the effects of climate change. Therefore, promoting the use of public transport benefits the environment as well as also making transport more accessible and cheaper.
