There are people saying stuff like, ‘I have to scrap my car because it’s too polluting but if I pay £12.50 it’s no longer too polluting, it’s obviously a con/money raiser’.
Completely ignoring the fact that a theoretical £12.50 has changed their behaviour and stopped a car journey.

Similarly to this there was a quote in the T***graph from a Orpington resident saying it must have cost a fortune to erect all the infrastructure to enforce it but somehow it's also a cash cow for TFL.
I don't know the figures but I imagine it's going to take a lot of £12.50 payments to cover the cameras etc.

The coverage of this in the media has been completely lacking in context. The whole point of ULEZ is mentioned as a footnote, if it's mentioned at all. You'd think it was being introduced solely to inconvenience motorists, rather than because we're facing a massive health crisis.
