A case in point regarding Livingstone doing a good job: Prior to the 2008 Mayoral election, he'd set aside a fairly large sum of money for feasibility studies regarding making London Underground and London Overground more accessible to those of us who don't have perfect health; use wheelchairs or have small children in buggies. Boris axed it and, despite strong and consistent lobbying, has done the sum of fuck-all, given that the bus companies had already signed up to all new stock being of the accessible variety.
It couldn't possibly be that (now, I'm not a Londoner, I did live in Woolwich for 18 months, so don't bite my head off if I'm wrong.) with buses going everywhere the tube did, the money was better spent elsewhere? There was a lot of money spent trying to stop cyclists getting killed IRRC.
