Off-peak Tube and train fares all day on Fridays will be trialled by Transport for London (TfL) in a bid to boost passenger numbers and support the capital's economy.
…
Sadiq Khan has asked TfL to launch a three-month trial in March.
…
TfL said that midweek Tube usage was at 85% compared to pre-pandemic levels and Friday usage was about 73%.

Hard to tell if this is a genuine attempt to encourage people back to the office, or a cynical pre-election ploy.

The whole work-from-home thing is, in some cases, out of hand for sure. I know people who now *expect* to work three days a week, but still feel they should receive the same remuneration as for five days worth of work.
