牛津发射每天5英镑的交通堵塞费 10月29日,切断交通,为公园和自行车使用者免费搭乘公共汽车。 Oxford launches £5 daily congestion charge Oct. 29 to cut traffic, with free bus rides for park-and-ride users.

牛津郡议会从10月29日起在牛津发起一项临时交通堵塞收费, Oxfordshire County Council is launching a temporary congestion charge in Oxford starting October 29, charging £5 daily for vehicles without permits on six roads. 为了鼓励公共过境使用,在前三个月里,最多有两名成年人和三名拥有有效公园的儿童可免费乘坐Stagecoach和Oxford Bus Company服务的公共汽车,并乘坐停车罚单。 To encourage public transit use, free bus travel on Stagecoach and Oxford Bus Company services is available for up to two adults and three children with a valid park and ride parking ticket for the first three months. 这项收费由于Botley路关闭而推迟,目的是在圣诞节之前减少交通,改善公共汽车服务,支持当地企业。 The charge, delayed due to Botley Road closures, aims to reduce traffic, improve bus services, and support local businesses ahead of Christmas. 豁免适用于许可证持有者、贸易商、照料者和蓝色徽章持有者。 Exemptions apply to permit holders, traders, carers, and blue badge holders. 然而,74%的公众咨询答卷人表示关切,只有距牛津10至15英里以内的家庭才会收到宣传传单,有可能将附近城镇的居民排除在外。 However, 74% of public consultation respondents expressed concern, and only households within 10 to 15 miles of Oxford will receive informational leaflets, potentially excluding residents in nearby towns.
