London Mayor Sadiq Khan Firmly Opposes Pay-Per-Mile Charge

Despite previous considerations, Mayor Khan has definitively ruled out implementing a pay-per-mile driving scheme during his tenure.

  • Mayor Sadiq Khan has publicly stated that he will not introduce pay-per-mile charging as long as he is in office, countering claims by Conservative candidate Susan Hall.
  • Transport for London confirms no current plans or development for a pay-per-mile system, focusing instead on managing existing charges like ULEZ and Congestion Charge.
  • Conservative allegations suggest Khan's inconsistency on transport policies, citing past ULEZ expansions not initially promised.
  • Project Detroit, a technology platform under development, is designed to manage existing road charges and could potentially adapt to future charging schemes based on distance.
  • The debate over pay-per-mile charging reflects broader concerns about honesty and transparency in political commitments regarding transportation policies.
