Coming to London was a real eye opener. Biking to work in London I get a myriad of smells, all petroleum based I am guessing and each distinct... and I am entirely unsure what they are or where they come from.
This is on top of diesel pollution which is much more apparent then gasoline pollution in the states. If enough cars are idling you can taste it!
- Symbiote 7y agoI used to live there, and visited over new year. I'm sure there are statistics, but my impression is the huge increase in electric and hybrid buses, plus electric vehicles generally, has made a big improvement. The diesel black cabs still remain, and are probably the worst offender. I would cycle on backstreets 95% of the time in London, to avoid the pollution.
