London congestion charge.


Recommended Posts

Time to give a full answer :)

 

q1) the revenue collected will go directly towards projects designed to reduce pollution in London. Whether that is converting more buses to hybrids, planting trees in key areas, improving public transport etc, so there absolutely should be a measurable impact of the charge.

 

q2) yes, people may decide to park at a station towards the end of the tube and ride in, or get the train as it may end up costing less than driving when parking, petrol and the additional charges are added up.

 

q3) the biggest target will be businesses with older vans. these will most definitely take in account the charge in their profit and loss projections and for some the figures will work out better for them to change their vehicles. private owners may well take a similar approach but i'd expect that to be the minority as if you could afford a newer and more efficient car you'd probably already have one...

 

Q3 - Older vans is a bit of misnomer - I can still buy a pre registered euro5 van, a euro 6 of the same model will cost me at least a couple of grand more. Big vans are still very much diesel only unless you pay big money.
