Dramatic income fall of London's transport network threatens thousands of UK jobs: mayor

LONDON, Sept. 21 (Xinhua) -- London Mayor Sadiq Khan warned Monday that thousands of jobs across Britain supported by the City Hall's Transport for London (TfL) are at risk, as TfL's income has dropped by almost two-thirds during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The TfL said before the pandemic its services would normally bring in revenues of around 13 million pounds a day (about 16.62 million U.S. dollars), but due to continuing low levels of passengers, it is only earning around 5.2 million pounds a day (about 6.65 million dollars).
