Plans to charge motorbike riders £12.50 to ride in the London congestion charge zone have been approved today.

The new Ultra Low Emissions Zone (ULEZ) will come into place in September 2020 and motorbikes aged 13 or over will have to pay the charge.
The ULEZ will be active for 24 hours a day, seven days a week,
Despite motorbikes emitting just one per cent of NOx emissions in the UK, they have been lumped into the changes.

Boris Johnson, Mayor of London, said: “The world’s first ULEZ is an essential measure to improve air quality in our city, protect the health of Londoners, and lengthen our lead as the greatest city on earth.”
