With the recent implementation of tolls for the Silvertown and Blackwall tunnels, hundreds of drivers have switched to the free Woolwich Ferry for crossing the River Thames. This shift has led to extended queues and a notable rise in lorry traffic using the ferry. Transport for London reports an increase of approximately 1,800 vehicles utilizing the ferry daily, creating congestion issues, as residents express concerns about the ferry's capacity strained by heavy lorry use. The Mayor of London has yet to comment on this situation.
Since the tunnel charges, the ferry has become busier with more vehicles, especially lorries, causing congestion compared to when the tunnels were toll-free.
Hundreds of drivers are opting for the free ferry over the new toll tunnels, highlighting the impact of transportation pricing on commuter behavior.
