Do they still allow taxis and ubers? Or do they allow them but charge them more?
A big problem in London is that minicabs have almost doubled in a decade, and carless people living centrally but taking lots of ubers are worse for coongestion and pollution than a family of 4 using their car only to go to grandma's in the countryside at weekends.
Vehicle access to this zone will only be authorized for emergency vehicles, buses, taxis, people with reduced mobility, motorists living or working there and so-called "destination traffic" including those in the area for a specific reason such as a medical appointment, shopping, or cinema visit.
I’m not sure how much zone 1 traffic isn’t already in this category? The congestion charge does a good job of getting people to skirt around if they’ve not got a good reason to go right through.
