Did you know TfL is one of the largest landowners in London? They own thousands of properties, from office buildings to car parks—even a golf course in Harrow. That’s right: the same organisation that makes you wait 15 minutes for a bus also owns a place where privileged people hit little white balls with sticks. Transport for Luxury, more like it.

And here’s another shocker: TfL’s boss (the Commissioner) earns about £580,000 a year. That’s more than the Prime Minister. So the next time your train is delayed because of “leaves on the line,” remember: someone’s on a first-class beach holiday, paid for by your Oyster card.
