“Oyster and contactless card taps were only down by around 10% across the whole day, showing that Londoners and visitors to the city were still able to travel despite the strike action. “We managed to run services on most lines, with the Jubilee line in particular running almost 90% of normally scheduled kilometres.
“We also saw that over 60% of drivers came to work across the day, helping millions of people travelling across the city get around as easily as possible. “We continue to urge the RMT to work with us to resolve their questions on the proposed four-day week and to suspend any future action while that work is completed. ”
