presumably to prevent howls of outrage, destruction of sacred london tradition, blah, blah. Likely to slow the terminal decline of the humble black cab
TfL predict ULEZ will knock about 5% of traffic out of central london and I'm inclined to believe them. It is a good start. Extending it to the North/South Circular is quite radical and, i believe, will have an even greater impact.
Interesting to see that Blue Badge holders won't be exempt from this.
I know a couple of people who probably do fewer than 500 miles a year but would fall afoul of this. Not entirely sure what their option would be, taxi I guess.
Any particular reason why black cabs are exempt?
