Uh, mind sharing where you got those numbers? The budget for TfL I see here says a total operational cost of 10.2 billion pounds (http://content.tfl.gov.uk/transport-for-london-budget-2017-1...)

http://content.tfl.gov.uk/tfl-mayors-budget-2017-18.pdf (page 10) versus http://web.mta.info/mta/budget/pdf/MTA%202017%20Adopted%20Bu... (page II-A). I’m just comparing the Underground versus the subway + the Staten Island Railroad.

That's interesting The TFL budget and the mayor's budget don't seem to match precisely, although roughly the same.

I wonder why?

TfL manages more than just the London Underground. I think the other poster may be using the Tube's share of operating expenses?

TfL is way more than just the tube so I’m guessing op used numbers that broke out just the tube.

For reference the broken down numbers for the underground alone are on page 25 of that document. (page 13 or so in the pdf)
