@Flock I dunno man - when I lived in London I didn't feel the need for a car and it was often faster to walk anyway!

@englishmonkey but for the many sole trades men that work in and around London this will hit them hard. I’ve attempted to stop driving twice now and found that London transports just isn’t reliable enough. 😑😅 and the buses and train get overcrowded now imagine how bad it would be when more people start to use it.

@englishmonkey if you don’t mind me asking where about’s in London did you live.

@Flock Greenwich - but I was a student at the time. Hong Kong (where I live now) is def doable without a car. Surprised there are any tradesmen left in London after the Brexit disaster. There's a major shortage of every type of worker up north. Hotel cleaners now on £30+ an hour in the lakes!

@Flock what about other parts in the world? There is more traffic there and no regulations. So while you pay others will do anything despite it is international effort

@Flock I wish we could see something similar in Berlin

@Flock specially now in the winter I just cycle everywhere. Or worst case take the tube.

@dolphin I’m not familiar with Berlin’s system. The issue with London is that it’s one huge pot in terms of terrain. I love to Cycling 🚴‍♀️ But if you are the slightest bit unfit and have to do a cycle into London from outer London you would struggle.

@PG tube is good if you live north or the river or the inner boroughs. As for cycling 🚴‍♀️ if you have to haul tools around it’s impractical. I think the issue with the mayor is he thinks about all the London postcodes and forgets that there are people who live in the BR CR RM Postcodes. Plus this solution is in practical. The only way it would work is if you paid a set fee and was refunded when you MOT was done. 🤔 but by then you would have been stretched thin with rend council tax road tax utility bills and so on.
