Air pollution falls after London vehicle curbs: Mayor
October 5, 2024
Just more proof why cars should be banned from London. Cleaner air when we get rid of cars, especially the old ones, and we do actually get cleaner air to breath. There's enough choices for public transport to get around basically all over London

yeah but if i want late night lanzhou lamian after gym its half an hour drive or an hour on the central line. I know which one I’m choosing (and tbh I’m not particularly bothered about the pollution, part and parcel of living in a big city is pollution and I think the pollution adds to the atmosphere, imagine if it was smoggy like the old days, it would have been so cool, I want to enjoy the atmosphere before I go out to the countryside when I’m tired of the city)
edit oh and night tube is only 2 days of the week lol its not good enough tbh
Question about this open to replies if anyone knows a lot about things like this
With reports like this how do you attribute them to policy and not wider societal affects
Like I can only assume ULEZ had some impact but would things like ev’s becoming more affordable also not influence this data?
>Just more proof why cars should be banned in London.
This isn’t year 9 geography. Cars won’t be banned in London. No matter how many Reddit posts come up with the idea.
Air pollution is a major issue it kills 7-9 million people a year with other health consequences. So although banning cars isn’t a reality. Making public transport accessible including additional of safe bike lanes, fees for polluting cars (ULEZ) and congestion fees and more pedestrians areas and some parts of London that are pedestrian only would make a difference
No need to ban cars, just steadily transition to electric.
Proof why cars should be banned from London…???? Are you 13 and smoking crack….. 🙄
