Ken Livingston had the brilliant idea that before you can charge for congestion with public support, you need to create gridlock....and we all know what he did with the road works and the school holidays...."oh look I was right" he professed!
Khan, with the help of TfL has done virtually the same thing with the ULEZ charge. They used a massive expansion in bus services day and night, to ramp up emissions. Traffic signal phasing tweeted beyond belief, average speed limited, unnecessary segregated cycle Lanes inserted forcing most traffic to use limited road space, with monitoring stations in the most predictable locations to cause maximum congestion, therefore massive pollution.
Emotional blackmail using lies about children's lungs in MSM and on massive billboards and the snowflakes were all over it. The BBC ran stories of school playgrounds next to main roads saying this was toxic air, poisoning the children's lungs.
Yet research (buried) has shown that pollution levels in London are 40% less than 40-50 years ago.
Kings Collage research results has showen the Mayor's statistics were no more than guesstimates, plucked out of thin air. The news a few weeks ago that the underground (Tube) is 30 times more polluted than any of the streets above has also been buried away. (Wonder if we'll be seeing a ULEZ charge added to Oyster cards soon?)
The late Tony Frew said London's pollution is currently at 14 units....the world average unit is 7....that's 7 even if you were in the middle of the Amazon Rain Forest!
Currently London's traffic (that's all the traffic) contribute approx 2 units. The reason London's emissions are said to be illegal is because the limit is set purposely too low. If you were to ban all traffic completely, you would only reduce London's units by one seventh which would still have us above the legal limit.
Tony states the figure of 40,000 preventable deaths in the UK is fake. They use what's known as Zombie statistics to calculate results that don't really exist. 40,000 people are not dying due to pollution. Research shows that the average person (who may live till the age of 80) may loose three days off their life span, due to pollution.
Needless to say, Tony's radio interview, has been buried under a mountain of propaganda and on occasion has been removed from YouTube

Getting back to Khan, his next plan is to extend the ULEZ charging area out to the North and South Circulars.....this has been delayed to 2022 as Khan is up for re-election on 7th May 2020 and he obviously believes residents in the Great London area will revolt against him when they are forced (24hrs a day) to pay this new form of PollTax.
So, to charge for the massive pollution in the suburbs (Sic) he first has to create massive pollution there....and what better way than the tried and tested use of hybrid buses running on pure diesel. After all, it worked in Central London!
The ULEZ charge will net TfL billions and that's all it's about.
As they say....Follow The Money!!!

Transport for London have confirmed that a series of cuts to the bus network are to proceed, despite opposition from local politicians, passengers and the capital’s transport watchdog, London Travelwatch.
Last September TfL and City Hall unveiled plans to reduce frequencies on eight routes with a further three axed in their entirety.
One new route would be created and five routes would see frequencies increased, but many others would either be ‘restructured’ or shortened, meaning passengers would have to switch buses mid-journey in order to reach their destination.
Travelwatch expressed “alarm” at the proposals, warning they risked making the bus a less convenient and less accessible option for thousands of passengers, while London Assembly members and local councillors have also criticised the plans, with many backing petitions to save under threat routes.
However TfL today announced that despite the widespread opposition, it would be proceeding with many of its original proposals, including shortening routes 3, 4, 40, 45, 59, 67, 134 & 172, axing routes 48 & RV1 and reducing frequencies on other routes.
A proposal to axe the 271 route night service has been shelved and the agency will not go ahead with proposed alterations to routes 11, 19, and 22.
TfL claims the changes, which will be implemented from June, will make the bus network “more efficient”.
