Everyone is missing the point here.

We have to work. It's the way our economy operates. It's how we support ourselves. Road congestion charging, train congestion charging doesn't and cannot address that fundamental.

Unless we are to revert to a backwards inward looking local communities (which goes against the grain of human nature trying to better itself), subscribe to rapid population reduction and other impossible measures, we will always need transport and at some point we have to invest to increase capacity. Arguably that capacity must be on mass transport as private cars are less efficient.
