What is there for the Mayor to say? The trains still run, the busses still turn up, the traffic lights still go red, yellow, green.

For the vast majority of people, there little to no impact day-to-day. Sure the loss of live data is annoying, but trains still turn up every 2 mins, and busses every 5-10mins during the day. Even at night, busses still turn up every 15-20mins, so checking live data doesn’t give you that much of an edge.

Because there is no political gain for him in this story.
