15. Wasted £500,000 on a cable-car - the most expensive ever built - that has an average of 4 daily users
It is important that the facts are correct when criticising Johnson. An average of 4,000 journeys a day are made on the cable car - only 4 of which appear to be made by Oyster Card holders. The rest are presumably tourists. It is hardly a success and 4,000 journeys a day is only just above the capacity for one hour, so most of the time it runs almost empty at under 10% capacity.
But - the cable car has cost the taxpayer over £24 million so far, not £500,000, even after the £36 million paid by Emirates as sponsorship and a further €9.7 million paid by the European Regional Development Fund. Johnson had promised that it would not cost the taxpayers a penny.
Borisnomics at its finest - see also: £45m Garden Bridge, £662m London Stadium rented to West Ham for free, Boris Buses that cost twice the price of other buses and frequently break down, and many other examples.
