Most people in London don't have cars. Especially those living in flats and blocks.
- pxeger1 3y agoMost people in most other cities do have cars.
- edent 3y agoI don't think that tells the full picture. Take a look at https://www.ons.gov.uk/census/maps/choropleth/housing/number-of-cars-or-vans/number-of-cars-3a/no-cars-or-vans-in-household https://www.ons.gov.uk/census/maps/choropleth/housing/number... In Birmingham, about a 3rd of people have no car. But if you zoom in to central, it's about 2/3rds of people have no vehicle.
- mnd999 3y agoYeah in central that’s true. The currently ULEZ expansion controversy (at least the bits of it that aren’t shady Twitter / Facebook bot farms trying to engineer a Tory mayor) does indicate that a lot of folks in outer boroughs rely on their cars.
- ljf 3y agoAnd those in the outer boroughs will either have room for a charging system or can drive a hybrid. Or just keep driving the diesel/petrol car they already have - no one is banning the use of existing cars after they ban the sale of /new/ cars.
- yetanotherloser 3y agoIt's a lot easier to live in London without a car than outside it. As far as I know most new flats in London don't allow car parking anyway. (I am a non driving Londoner and it's pretty good. I don't think I'd feel the same way in many other places)
