There’s going to be lots of shit like this where the average member of the public starts to notice a lot of changes to their routines/life in general while we still allow drilling in the North Sea and companies like amazon etc operating here with their massive carbon footprint.
I’m not adverse to change but it’s all for nothing if it doesn’t change at the top, this is something that won’t help a lot in the grand scheme of things but will piss loads of folk of if they need to start paying to park at their work.
Fair enough laughing at my train woes but the rail network must make a lot of people proper miserable. Can easily ruin your day or evening. Being late to work 3 times a week due to cancelled services is unprofessional anaw. Considering how much it costs it’s a scandal.

Well kent cretin and slaver
My work journey consists of me jumping in my car, parking it 15 minutes later and walking in to the lions den.
Fuck buses, trains and everything in between.

It's peak neoliberalism to tackle the climate crisis by making individuals pay for parking while leaving big businesses untouched. Bonus points for ostensibly charging companies, but then giving them the option of passing the cost onto their employees as though some of them might not do it.
This is about current infrastructure not being able to cope with more and more people working in inner city areas that aren’t getting any bigger. They want more people car sharing and on public transport. If they are framing it as tackling climate change then it’s bullshit.
Chances are companies will just get rid of their parking spaces to avoid the fees and nearby residential areas will become far more congested with non locals parking. Take Leith for example, basically used as a car park by out of towners who work in the city centre during the day.
