The U-Layers and the Congestion Fee
Ride-hailing firm Uber has launched a new service in the UK. The U-Layers scheme aims to cut pollution by charging drivers for vehicles over 10 years old. But it's unfair on people who can't afford to upgrade their cars, says founder and chief executive Travis Kalanick. London is 'preposterously dense' with huge amounts of density, he adds. And when you get into rural areas like farmyard animals close to M25, electric vans make perfect sense.
