After a campaign by Citizens UK, Transport for London (TfL) has committed to assist asylum seekers in applying for travel discounts. This change, though short of the London Assembly's request for free travel, is seen as a victory that helps asylum seekers attend vital appointments and take their children to school. Campaigners expressed satisfaction with TfL's willingness to collaborate with organizations to enhance support for refugees, who often live on minimal funds and face restrictions on work and benefits during their waiting period.
"This announcement from TfL, while not fulfilling the exact request, signals a step towards recognizing the urgent needs of asylum seekers in London."
"Every small victory counts in our quest to make essential services accessible to those in the darkest situations, like asylum seekers and their families."
