I filled in the #Oxford #congestionCharge survey now. Didn't take very long. And apparently I already registered with the survey site on a previous occasion which I didn't remember. https://letstalk.oxfordshire.gov.uk/congestion-charge

#Oxford: consultation re the temporary #CongestionCharge now open. Note that this measure is only meant to bridge the gap until the Botley Road reopens and the traffic filters can be put in place. https://letstalk.oxfordshire.gov.uk/congestion-charge

#dvla #uk #roadtax Getting threatening emails that look totally genuine from .gov from UK saying I need to pay road tax or face fine and or prison. Is this fake ? (I have no #car in the #UK but have a car in the database for #CongestionCharge in #london #transportforlondon ).

"Es fahren einfach zu viele Menschen Zug" - und deshalb wird das #Deutschlandticket auf bestimmten Strecken in #Berlin und #Brandenburg eventuell gestrichen.
Warum funktioniert das nicht für verstopfte #Autobahnen und Innenstädte?

@engadget mostly to save on #CongestionCharge aka. inner city #toll fees...

"Over a Zoom call, Nicholas told me she believed [a] #CongestionCharge is the most effective measure because it makes the “cost of driving visible.”

She added that currently, many of the costs of motoring are hidden."
