>it's a remarkable statistic
If you consider levying a $20-30/day tax to every driver,[1] plus another $12/day if your car is too old,[2] plus $200-600/year to park on public roads,[3] causing people to stop driving as remarkable, then sure.
Edit: why the downvotes?

- Ar-Curunir 4y agoAll that sounds wonderful actually. Cities are for people, not cars.
- Symbiote 4y agoVED is to drive on public roads. Parking is about £7/hour during work times, although it would be optimistic to expect to find an on-street spot every day. The maximum time is 4 hours anyway. Apart from the mistake, you are probably downvoted for posting a hysterical Daily Mail article. Note the "up to".

- tim333 4y agoThe stuff you mention isn't that relevant - I speak as a car owner in central London. (I don't pay [1] and [2] and everyone has to pay [3]). Parking is the real problem. Also driving in central London rush hour is kind of tedious - I prefer rail etc.
