£1.5bn?The “ultra low emission zone” fee of £12.50 a day is expected to raise up to £1.5bn a year compared to the congestion charge which raises £230m. The money raised will go to Transport for London. Almost all petrol and diesel cars built before September 2015 will be afffected.
Good thing?
£1.5bn?
Make public transport free then. Then loads of people will not need cars. Solves 2 problems - pollution and congestion - which will, in time, pay for itself!
Does public transport have an image problem though?

1 - If I've already paid for it in my taxes, you're damned right I'm going to try to get my money's worth out of it
2 - Loads of people will feel the same - Demand for existing and new routes will leap
3 - More routes --> even more people will use it
4 - Loads less cars on the road - removes a ton of CO2 and NOx gasses as well as other nasties from the air - this will save a fortune in other activities to reduce these levels. Also, no more road expansion costs, as road use will plummet
I really think its something we should do in this country.

Pretty myopic. Did you have a child in London?I Lived in London for 18 years and though I drive, I never owned a car there, no need for one, but this charge won't change anything, except more money for the government, hard to see how they can improve transport in the city it was/is brilliant.

Instead of any extra tax, compel everyone to cycle. Cleaner air, less serious accidents, fitter population. Government would lose a lot of tax revenue though, cos cyclists don't pay road tax.
But if they've already paid for it, and when more routes are added, making it even more convenient , many will make the jump.People who drive can already afford public transport, making it free wouldn't do much imo.
