The conclusion after 3 years, was it hadn’t encouraged people to stop driving, they’d stopped walking. It also means less money for the places they’ve left behind.Ī year after introduction, public transport use was up 14%, but car use had only declined by 5%. A population which grew by 25,000 people in the first three years of operation. The municipality is able to claim a €1,000 share of every person’s income tax. Having a register of residents explains why the city claims to be making a profit of €20m a year. 416,000 and pay €2 for a green card, to use the public transport network. To qualify, people had to register as a resident of Tallinn, pop. A public referendum was held with 75% of residents saying yes. Tallinn, Estonia’s capital introduced it as long ago as 2013.

Some cities in Europe already operate free public transport. I’ve decided it’s time to return to the good old ways, at least as far as getting to Ealing is concerned. Travel to Ealing also became free from last July, when I became eligible for an Oyster, 60+ London travel card, offering me free travel in London on bus, tube and the new Elizabeth Line. The benefits of early adoption must now officially be over.
I’m getting a bit more help shortly as mileage allowances are being reduced to 750 with a small increase in the price to boot. With 1,000 electric miles per month included in my agreement, I’ve been feeling obliged to use up the miles in an attempt to get my money’s worth, not that a round trip to Ealing will do much damage. Playing other courses, which I do regularly, means no unnecessary diversions to Ealing first to pick clubs up. It means nothing ever gets forgotten anymore and I can slip on golf shoes quickly in the club’s car park, 5 minutes before I’m due on the first tee. It’s become very convenient and lazy to dump my clubs in the boot. Yes, the same one that I’m still enjoying a year later. Once a new reality returned, I decided to rent an electric car, just for a month or two. The greens are wonderful, there was a locker for my clubs and I could get there via the Central Line from Notting Hill. I joined Ealing Golf Club for three reasons.
