The expanded ultra-low emission zone (ULEZ) costs Londoners nearly £400,000 per day, new research claims.
Mayor Sadiq Khan widened the ULEZ, which makes drivers of cars that do not meet minimum emissions standards pay a £12.50 daily charge to enter, to a much larger area of London last autumn.
TfL maintain that the ULEZ is not about generating money but cleaning up London's air and improving the health of its residents. "While we accept that action is needed to reduce toxic emissions from vehicles, the cost-of-living crisis is hurting drivers in the pocket and there is a risk that further enlarging the zone will be hugely costly for those with older vehicles who can least afford to change them for something newer.
