You asked
Dear TfL, please could you provide details, for September 2021. How many private hire vehicles entered the congestion zone (average per day) during charge hours and how many taxis entered the congestion zone (average per day) during charge hours. I am aware that private hire vehicles no longer have exemption and may not be readily identifiable. In that case please can you provide me with taxi numbers only. Many thanks.
