Plans for big cuts to London's bus routes have been cancelled - but there will still be some changes.
London Assembly's transport committee had expressed concerns about the impact of the cuts on the poorest Londoners
As a result of the consultation, 17 routes which had been proposed to be cut will be saved and kept as they currently operate. Another 40 services will also no longer be changed as initially planned. Don't forget some of the cuts still go through - but £25m will be paid each year from "unallocated GLA reserves" from the council tax and business rates.
Mr Khan said the consultation had showed "the strength of feeling across the capital... and I was adamant that I would explore every avenue available to me to save as many buses as possible".
