The controversial Silvertown Tunnel, opening in April, will charge drivers a toll and aims to improve traffic flow. To ease the burden on low-income residents, Transport for London (TfL) is providing a 50 percent discount on tolls for those receiving state benefits in 13 boroughs. This means travelers will pay £2 at peak times and 75p off-peak. Residents must register in advance to access these discounts. The tunnel's development has drawn criticism due to concerns of increased pollution and traffic despite TfL's assurances of improved conditions.
London will see the opening of the Silvertown Tunnel, providing discounted travel options for low-income residents while raising ongoing concerns about traffic and pollution.
The new Silvertown Tunnel charges will have discounts for residents who receive state benefits, allowing them to travel for as low as 75p off-peak.
Eligible residents include those living in 13 designated boroughs and must register to qualify for the 50 percent discount on toll fees.
Despite the upcoming opening of the Silvertown Tunnel designed to ease travel, local dissatisfaction continues regarding tolling policies and potential environmental impacts.
