London saw a surprising benefit to fining high-polluting cars: More active kids
London saw a surprising benefit to fining high-polluting cars: More active kids
Four in 10 London children stopped driving and started walking to school a year after the city's clean air zone went into effect.
Not London, but UK: our nearest city has introduced an ULEZ and it has had a positive impact on me.
I'm more than happy to drive to the nearest town and use the park and ride setup. It's ever so slightly inconvenient to not be able to leave on your own terms, but I enjoy the the walking and exploring so if I've got twenty minutes to burn until the next bus or train then I rather enjoy poking my head down a side street or getting a coffee somewhere new.
ULEZ's are fantastic. Are they congruent with the conveniences of modern life? Absolutely not. Are they a sensible price to pay to fuck yank tanks off the city streets? Abso-fucking-lutely.
As always, I'm open to dissenting opinions :)
