Nothing to do with the fact ULEZ are in densely populated urban areas with things being closer together, better public transport and more painful to drive in anyway? So nothing actually to do with the ULEZ.

What, you mean that ULEZ *isn’t* martial law meant to force everyone to live in walled-off ghettos?! Wow. Somebody should tell those idiots who keep quoting the Magna Carta and bellowing “No contract!” at TFL staff.
Nice to see it’s having a positive effect.

> The researchers surveyed 1,000 children across 44 schools in central London about how they travelled to school in 2018-19, prior to the Ulez’s introduction, and then again in 2019-2020 after it was introduced.
I would definitely expect more people to walk to school with the onset of a covid pandemic.

Surely that is because the ULEZ is london, and is eminently more walkable… it isn’t even an option for my kids to walk or cycle to school…

…really need to get myself one of those “think-tank”, pollster type of jobs… Water is wet? 20 grand for me!
People walk because the area got barred from vehicles? 20 grand for me to put on a surprised pikachu meme on

Maybe because cycling and walking in London to get about is sooo much easier and the same in other cities.

It does just so happen ULEZ’s are almost exclusively Urban areas where those things are often more likely than getting stuck in traffic. I would not say its the effect of the ULEZ, at the very most the ULEZs effect is negligible
