its just another money maker for the government probably to give some more illegal immigrants houses and money. if it is to stop congestion then why are they going to charge more for 4x4s?

Is there any way to add the zones I have on a paper National Rail travelcard to an Oyster card?

A good idea, providing there is a viable alternative form of transport to road. I think it works in London because there is a (comparatively) excellent public transport system, such as buses and tube.

What time does the bus leave & what # is it from ronkonmaka station going to hauppauge n.y.11788?


I do not, however, believe it would work in other British cities, like Leicester or Birmingham, because there are insufficient alternatives. It would be therefore viewed as another stealth tax.

Does anyone know how bad the traffic is between Finchley and Borehamwood during rush hour?

Just another money spinner from the soft target. The motorist

Definitely a stealth charge........ If they wanted to stop congestion they'd stop people driving into London not just charge for it....Easy money I guess

Any GreyHound Coupon Codes?

If there is a superb integrated public transpost system it's just about ok I guess. But where I live in Plymouth it costs £3.10 for a single ticket from the city centre to my home, a 4 mile trip which is absolute extortion. And that's if the bus turns up at all!! Fair enough in London, it's where all the money is and public transport is almost as efficient as the car (well as a tourist it seems it), but anywhere else it would be sick.

In the US, how are the cab drivers being paid?

I don't mind. I pay £10 for a year and drive into and out of the zone as much as I like. (I own a hybrid).

got a fine for driving in a bus lane i can i get away withit?


What I do mind though is Red Ken playing around with the phasing of the traffic lights to slow down traffic just before the zone was introduced and then re-optimising then just after. I don't know many people who have changed their driving habbits as a result.

If all 4x4s were banned would rush hour commuting time reduce by 50%?


All I know is that people either pay the charge (except certain embassy staff who claim it is a tax and that they are exempt) or they have changed their cars.

can you substitute a Segway PT for a car?

It's the operation of market forces. Road space is a scarce commodity. In a free market anything in short supply always costs more. For many years the government forced British Rail to increase fares ahead of inflation in order to damp down demand, because it would cost a lot of money to increase rail capacity by buying new trains or laying extra tracks. Now it's the turn of the motorist - and about bloody time too. Congestion is a tax on everyone and is a serious brake on economic growth.
Congestion is the stealth tax.
