Responding to Transport for London’s consultation on changes to the congestion charge, Polyvios Polyviou, Transport Programme Director at BusinessLDN, said: “Congestion costs the London economy billions a year so tackling traffic by encouraging a shift towards public transport and active travel where possible is essential to keep the city moving.
“It’s welcome that Transport for London has taken on board some feedback by proposing a new Cleaner Vehicle Discount to help people across the capital transition to cleaner forms of transport. To build on the strong progress made, TfL should now provide a level playing field for private hire vehicles as they offer essential, accessible, and flexible transport options across the city.”
