Rush hour crush eases
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.THE LEVEL of congestion suffered by commuters travelling into London appears to be easing.
The number of people entering central London in the morning rush hour has fallen from about 1.2 million in 1988 to about 969,000 last year, London Transport said. In the same period, the number arriving by Underground fell from 401,000 to 332,000.
The number travelling in by car and cycle was 170,000 - about the same as 1992 but well down on the peak of 236,000 in 1982.
