TfL has struggled to make up for losses made during the pandemic

The extra funding would amount to an annual rise of £172m, which would help to make up for losses over the pandemic when TfL’s fares income slumped. Overall, current passenger levels remain down on pre-pandemic levels, with almost one in four weekday Tube passengers yet to return to regular travel.
