Public transport makes even more sense. Germany is concluding a 3 month trial of €9 ticket for a month of it.Taipan wrote: Wed Aug 31, 2022 1:36 pm I still think we'll see PAYG city EVs, like on the Boris Bike schemes. Makes more sense than ownership in big cities.
Most of my colleagues that live in London don't have cars. They favour public transport and of course in many boroughs parking permits come into play and some are damn expensive unless you have an EV. But now an increasing number of bus routes are being axed the demand for a car will rise again and the PAYG option would work I reckon, the downside being ring fencing location areas and redistribution of parked cars. I still think there's a solution in there somewhere?slowsider wrote: Wed Aug 31, 2022 1:38 pmPublic transport makes even more sense.

Couldn't the cor blimey Cockneys just work from home, they don't make anything physical so don't need to be at a place of work, this might not be too great for sandwich shops and the other jobs that illegal immigrants do, but that's the way the cookie crumbles.Taipan wrote: Wed Aug 31, 2022 1:46 pmMost of my colleagues that live in London don't have cars.

I have no figures for this, but it does seem a lot of yoof aren't anywhere as interested in driving like my generation was and a lot of that seems to be for environmental reasons? If that is right, then occasional access to vehicles such as PAYG ones does seem the way forward?

Hopefully leave them to get on with it, why should the rest of the UK subsidise London's public transport, surely it would make more sense if the ticket price reflected what it costs to run?Horse wrote: Wed Aug 31, 2022 2:27 pmTfL have almost gone bankrupt twice in the last couple of years.slowsider wrote: Wed Aug 31, 2022 1:38 pmPublic transport makes even more sense.

A settlement which will support almost £3.6 billion worth of projects and secure the long-term future of London’s transport network has today (30 August 2022) been agreed with TfL.
The settlement, which includes just under £1.2 billion of upfront funding and brings government’s total funding to over £6 billion, matches the Mayor’s own pre-pandemic spending plans. It will ensure the network is not only protected against potential lost revenue caused by uncertainty of post-pandemic demand but will also enable the delivery of a number of projects set to revolutionise travel across London.

Someone better ask Truss and Sunak what they'll do.
That might be logical if driving was charged in a similar way...

Wossat then? Dualit toasters used to be somewhere on the 'knocked 'em dead in' the Old Kent Road but they moved production to West Sussex. There's probably a lot still working that were made on the OKR...is your perhaps vintage*?

The trouble is that there will always be people who need to go where public transport doesn't - IMO they should get travel at the same rate per mile as those that can use subsidised public transport.slowsider wrote: Wed Aug 31, 2022 3:07 pm

But you can change behaviours, reduce congestion, and cut emissions by incentivising the switch.
The pilot in Germany was a national one and saved an estimated 1.8m tonnes of CO2 emissions.
Penarth Street, just off the OKR.
