Was that when there was 1/5 the number of cars on the road?

Actually a quick check says in 1970 it was around 12 million cars on the road, 1990 it hit 20 million and now it's about 35 million.

So there's a bit more competition for parking now.

I'm not sure if corruption is worse or better now than it used to be, that's be an interesting question.

A fairer way without spending a single penny let alone millions on ULEZ cameras would have been for khan to say "From today, only non compliant cars currently registered in the zone will be allowed to be driven in the zone and there will be a hefty fine (not a charge) if used in the zone. No new registrations in the zone of non compliant vehicles will be allowed. That way they would naturally expire over time and not have forced people into scrapping perfectly serviceable motor vehicles.

That doesn't make any sense.

Nor was anyone forced to scrap "perfectly serviceable motor vehicles" : they could have flogged them to someone outside the area, no?

When all this was coming to a head, nobody within 50 miles of the ULEZ wanted to buy a non compliant vehicle. On the other hand, compliant vehicles within 50 miles of a ULEZ were going for stupid money. You weren’t anywhere near 50 miles of the ULEZ so don’t bother trying to tell me any different.

If you walk past a queue of cars with their engines running it’s clear cut that manufacturers have made huge progress with making cleaner cars, vans and lorries.

This improvement in London is nothing but a coincidence to improved standards and nothing to do with ULEZ.

I wonder if anyone has done any assessment on how many people actually go into London given this study includes the covid years and the move to post covid telecommuting.

If only we had another nearby region to compare it to, like Luton!

A lot of the improvement is a national thing with older cars going off the roads but London has dropped faster than Luton (which also out in more moderate measures I believe).

How do I know any of this? I read the link on the first post.

`As far as I am concerned, nobody should be driving into the city centre in London, it should be commuting only by train or bus which would solve a lot of issues.
