You think. I'm off to work in 10 mins, I'll show all my colleagues at work (TFL) what you've said ;)

Probably not suitable in your case, but I have my Senior railcard associated to my Oyster card, giving me one third off off peak tube travel, I can't do this with contactless.

Have to say, the Govt and their supporters have done a sterling job in making sure huge swathes of people blame him for stuff they're responsible for.

Incredible just how much people have been brainwashed into believing his dubious reports about benefits of ULEZ. Most people are seeing their once free flowing roads snarled up with traffic through ‘ calming measures ‘ and restrictions. A complete money making exercise. Meanwhile The Mayor and entourage clock up thousands of air mikes whilst on a jolly up to the states talking about his detested ULEZ, whist knife crime is at a record high in the City he supposed to be managing.

You need to read what Shirley Rodrigues said. Anyone receiving a million pound would write a favourable report.
Scientist will always have a different viewpoint on a topic and the Mayor plucked one flimsy study to inflict misery on millions. To cite 4000 people dying of car fumes is a fraction of those still dying as a result of smoking tobacco in public places.

Well I mentioned that I’d read various other sources on subject. I’ll try locate them later. She certainly approached Prof Kelly.

ULEZ generates over 300 million a year

Traffic camera enforcing speed , no entry, red routes , bus lanes etc several millions a year.

I would rather have proper policing as there are those out there who break the law no matter how many cameras are out there.

ULEZ isn't traffic calming. You said traffic calming was part of a money making exercise. Please answer the question and advise how traffic calming measures make money. The streets where I live which have had one way systems put in place and flower boxes blocking certain exits, all installed by the local Borough Council, how does that make money for Sadiq Khan and the Mayor's Office?
