Thread Name: New London traffic plan - working?
Subject: RE: New London traffic plan - working?
Looks good. The pity is that they couldn't build in something to make people pay acording to how rich they were, because as it is it's going to mean fat cats driving around on empty streets because paying £5 a day won't mean a thing to them.

Maybe, when the technology gets a bit more sophisticated, they can work that one in.

But I've not much synmoathy for anyone who drives into the centre of London, apart from people with Orange Cards because of disabilities, for whom it is going to be a bit easier now.

Saturday of course was the first real traffic-free day in Central London. Brilliant.

The great thing is to be able to get back on the buses with some conbfidence of getting where you want to go on time, since the roads won't be clogged up.
