Congestion has begun to increase sharply again, and not just in central London but across the capital. Traffic has slowed down and road users are spending longer stuck in delays.
And it is not just because of CSH. You can read the full report here.
I used to wonder how so many people could afford the CC daily. Now I know, they don't. |

It does at least mention motorcycle a couple of times in passing, which is more than TfL tends to do.
Sadly, when asked what form of transport they'd switch to if road-use charging were introduced:

It's pretty telling that current car drivers would prefer pushbikes to real ones. As many as would prefer, I guess jetpacks and canoes. They can probably see which way road allocation is going. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

I wonder if the option was actually presented to the Londonistanis as "motorcycle" or as "motorcycle / scooter / moped".
One thing to bear in mind is that the pedalist lobby is pretty good at whipping up a frenzy among the lycropaths and getting them to respond to consultations. Although they even get whupped by walking in that one, so maybe not. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

Nothing about making trains, tubes or buses cheap as chips.
50p a journey, ramp up the number of trains and buses
Bit that made me laugh, deliveries to tube stations for pick up. OK, I'll pick up my 3 piece suite at Euston and carry it on my back to my house.
Anyway, we all know it's 50% about forcing people onto pushbikes and 50% revenue creation. ____________________ Triumph Trophy Launch Edition |

Interesting that so many would switch to walking. This suggests to me that a. Assume percentage of drivers are within walking distance.
Issue isn't cyclists, its lazy bastards using cars when not necessary ____________________ covent.gardens: lihp is my most favourite member ever |

Old Thread Alert!
The last post was made 7 years, 95 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful? |
