§ Mr. HillThe cost to the Government of supporting London Transport is recorded in the Annual Report of the Department of the Environment, Transport and the Regions. The Annual Report also gives the cost of supporting train services, though it is not possible to identify separately the cost of supporting train services in London.
Costs incurred by London Transport in providing bus and underground services are published in their annual report and accounts.
The Government do not maintain statistics on the finances of public transport systems in other European capitals.
