@@michaelmais3657 have you considered that it's foreign investment that has pushed property prices through the roof so most workers have to commute from outside side London. TFL network of public transport isn't reliable enough and so people use cars. You take all those vehicles off the road your infrastructure would collapse.
Of course people are going to drive into London, if they have to pay anyway on the outskirts now. That makes perfect sense to me. When it was just inner London, people steered clear of it. There is no incentive now. Obviously, it’s not designed to clean up the air in London. It is just to make money. I am pleased I live nowhere near the place.
But if you have worked in and driven in London since 1986. Seen the changes Sadiq Khan and TFL has made. But your business was in a TFL ULEZ meeting you will realise what he is doing. Scoot Traffic Light system and 20mph Zones. Per per mile and journey times charging. Bus stop lay-bys taken away so the bus holds all the traffic up. Wake up a city can’t run on push bikes. Our day rates in London have gone up by £85 now. Call out charges gone up as well as you can’t get a out due to the redesign to slow traffic down. If you use a car and a car breaks down look what happens to the traffic or you take away a lane only let 4 cars through a set of lights.
The Daily Mail is the LOL. This is what TomTom, who's data they rather misrepresent, said about London in this study: "Amsterdam also has a robust public transit network and many pedestrian walkways and pedestrianized zones. All this lightens the load on the roads and helps keep people moving regardless of their chosen mode of transport. London, by comparison, is dominated by the car. And in all cities surveyed its drivers lose the most time to traffic and congestion. By TomTom’s Traffic Index, it’s clear that cities like London need to examine their modal split to reduce vehicular congestion in the city."
Amsterdam is a very different place to London. I do agree though but trying to sell the change in transportation mode without putting in better infrastructure is the issue. I agree Daily Mail is lol but this was in all the papers including the Guardian which is the opposite end of the lol.
@@NerdInMotion23 I'd agree that Amsterdam - London are poor comparisons, but the comparison was made by TomTom. For me, I'd suggest that Amsterdam is better compared with Birmingham, Greater Manchester, Bradford-Leeds or Glasgow.. For European comparisons for London, I think the only realistic ones are probably Paris and Moscow, and perhaps the Randstadt in the Netherlands. Plus posting contrary opinions on generally-motoring RUclips is a small weekend pleasure I don't want to lose ! I note that you avoid the misleading line taken by the Mail - they manage at least twice to claim that the 2019-2023 difference is +40%, rather than the extra +3% over the +37% in 2019. Thanks for your reply.
Sadiq Khan and TFL needs to be taken to court for causing more pollution, congestion and slowing down emergency services by design.
Nick him!!
It's cars that cause pollution and congestion!!!!!

Dear Mr Khan
You may say what you like
Cars are the safest form of transport
And we never go on strike
So true 💯
I can't say I'm surprised as people will rebel against anyone trying to control what they do and when. Its not going to get better in my view. 😔
I feel it will get worse and there will be a snapping point.
i dont think reducing pollution was the real aim more like get more cash out of motorists
Yep absolutely

Solid statement!

It's a joke it's not sustainable neither is pay per mile.
Ugh.. I know similar events from multiple countries. They never giving up..
Yeah it's ridiculous.
It,s people driving cars, not ULEZ, if they don't drive cars; no pollution, no congestion
You tell that to the NHS workers and carers .
No lorries no economy.

@@mattwardman yes I saw that it was certainly bending the truth. Main stream media is dead in my opinion.
There's just too many people with cars in our tiny country.
I agree to a point but excessively high house prices are pushing people to commute from more unpopular and less connected areas.
less people less cars.
Truble
Take London back and stop sitting on your arse
Who me 😂 I'd have a job on my own.
