This is a great thread, worth reading in entirety.
An unofficial conversation is thus had (with Gold's knowledge but not COBRA's) between the Mayor, Kiley, and the then head of surface transport, Sir (now Lord) Peter Hendy.
KILEY: If we ask them, the drivers will come, right?
HENDY: This is THEIR city. Of course they fucking will. /9
