Or the tube, or trains, or the clipper, or the DLR, or the overground...

There is absolutely no need for a vehicle (aside from work gear/deliveries) for most people (I can think of a few cases, but largely its quite accessible) inside the ULEZ.

Public transport is easier, cheaper, and faster, and would be even more so if there weren't as many cars.
