ULEZ Expansion

2020-01-08 23:34:11 - by alisonw Transport London

For the zone 1 CC/ULEZ area I think things are fine; a flat rate makes sense as it's a comparatively small area.

The extension of the ULEZ next year though *as a flat rate* is, imho, a big mistake, firstly because existing residents don't have any choice in getting included, and secondly because it's such a large area that charging £12.50 for a few miles at the edge is very different to spending the day driving around continuously.

I'd therefore like to see the extension as a per-mile or per-hour charge, not an all-or-nothing.
