As a Londoner in the ULEZ with a car and a bicycle, there were a lot of other changes in that general period to push people away from driving and towards cycling and the like. Blocking streets to cars, removing parking places and the like. I now find with an ebike getting from a to b in the center takes like 1/2 to 1/3 the time as driving - the cars are all stuck in non moving queues at traffic lights.
The ebikes get vandalized like crazy. There's more restrictions on where to park them every day and the cost is prohibitive for lower income users.
The green pushes govs perform tend to be a lie that benefit the wealthy and little more. Trains are much more expensive than planes. Tax incentives for expensive electric cars.
Well, nothing's perfect. I guess they try to do what they can. I boght my ebike used for £200 which is quite a lot less than a one year bus/tube pass (£1700 zone 1-2) or just the road tax on the car (£360). I'll give you the app based ebikes cost a bit although you can gat monthly passes that are not too bad.
