Guessing that drivers who do burn fossil fuels pay more tax. Yes, fuel duty should be restored and increased with inflation.

Can you get TfL to fund longer schemes - they seem to go for unconnected bits and pieces. At least a plan for a connected route should be required.

24 hour bus lanes should be standard; there’s no point in increasing road capacity outside of the busy times a bus lane is needed. You might as well make them active all the time by default, then there’s no confusion. If it’s to allow parking - tough. There should be no parking on a bus corridor.
