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.
