Transport for London's #ULEZ scheme cleaned London's air:

Gas boilers now biggest source of #AirPollution in central #London, study shows

"The findings highlight the success of transport interventions, such as the London Low Emission Zone and the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ), in significantly reducing #NOx emissions from vehicles."

In case you missed it, #TfL and the Mayor are consulting about the pedestrianisation of #OxfordStreet. It's been talked about for 30 years at least but maybe this time its serious - they even have a date 1 January 2026. Something to look forward to.
There's not much detail here - no mention of permeable paving, much additional green space, trees etc, parallel and perpendicular safe cycling route(s?)., nor of bus rerouting. So get your ideas in. haveyoursay.tfl.gov.uk/oxford-

Have Your Say Transport for LondonOxford Street TransformationThis public consultation – which will run from 28 February 2025 to 02 May 2025 - is about gathering your views on the proposed establishment of a new Mayoral Development Corporation to unlock the true potential of Oxford Street and deliver a world-class, safe,

#TfL's poorly implemented charging system tried to steal 3 pints worth of beer tokens off me last week! This is why if you use them you should regularly check that they've charged you correctly. It seems that if you only use buses they get it right, but if you use trains and tubes they screw up about one journey in 10. TfL's own website for calculating fares doesn't work either (presumably they don't want to make it easy to check for overcharging) but oysterfares.com/fare-finder/ does.

#Transport for #London (TfL) has had its greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), in line with the Paris Agreement’s 1.5°C limit. For the first time, #TfL has set targets across all areas of its business, aiming for a 90% emissions reduction by 2030.

TfL is transitioning to zero-emission vehicles, including over 1,900 of London’s 9,000 buses, and improving energy efficiency across its estate, with plans for solar farms and LED lighting. It aims to source 100% of its electricity from renewables by 2030.

TfL is also reducing carbon in construction, targeting low-carbon materials and emission-free deliveries by 2030. These efforts support London’s goal of becoming a carbon-neutral capital by 2030. The SBTi’s validation confirms TfL’s leadership in climate action.

This does not surprise me. Poor battery quality seems to plague e-bikes with after market kits (and others). BUT there is a failure in relation of the sellers - Amazon and Ebay sell this risky shit all the time with no come back. Maybe they should be forced to take responsibility - and that includes criminal liability.

Transport for London caves to #ASLEF pressure and BANS non-folding electric bikes on any tube services, Overground, Elizabeth Line and DLR services.

There is so much to unpack here, but again the reputable bike shop standard electric bike is thrown under the bus down to issues entirely unrelated. Conversion kits that do not meet standards do not automatically make an e-bike!

Cycling Electric · TfL bow to pressure in knee-jerk ban on non-folding e-bikesTransport for London (TfL) has taken the eyebrow-raising step to ban all e-bikes, aside from electric folding models, on most

#Transport for #London (#TfL) has announced a ban on non-folded e-bikes across its transport network, effective 31 March 2025, following safety concerns. While most #ebikes are safe, there have been incidents where non-folding e-bikes caught fire on the network. The ban will apply to the #Tube, #Overground, Elizabeth Line, and #DLR, but foldable e-bikes will still be allowed. TfL’s review, in collaboration with the London Fire Brigade, found that conversion kits for standard cycles pose a higher fire risk. Non-folding e-bikes are already banned on buses and trams. Exceptions include the Woolwich Ferry, river services, and certain coach services. TfL is working with the government to improve e-bike safety. Customers not complying with the ban may face fines up to £1000. TfL is the first #UK operator to enforce such a ban.
