Nonsense

They're traffic filters to remove the amount of regular cars clogging up roads. It's to make the area easier to travel through, obviously. All cities should implement vehicle management strategies so the traffic isn't so hectic.

It's not a nonsense story.

How will it be easier to travel if there are only 100 passes per year?

If cities want to promote other forms of travel, then they can do so by making alternate methods more affordable and accessible. Punishing car owners is not right. They already pay taxes and also taxes via fuel and so have a right to drive on public roads.

The title is 'climate lockdowns are here', that's what is nonsense.

I agree with you that just implementing this is shitty. But it's Oxfordshire, home of elites in the UK. They aren't just doing this, they have good infrastructure, cycling etc setup. This is about keeping an elite area nice, separating themselves from the common rabble. That's the real story here, they're using you lolbert morons' obsession with MUH FREEDUMBS as useful idiot controlled opposition to cover up the grotesque elitism.
