No bike trackways, no decent public transport network, extortionate rail fares etc. etc. etc.
Not exactly an attrative option to giving up four wheels. I drive a lot, also use a bike and walk (not at the same time!. The railway infrustructure can not cope with an increase in pasengers with out investment. I am aaware that sod-all money from road taxing has actually been allocated to improving public transport, if it is adopted. An allternative would be to raise vehicle and fuel tax-oops they already did and that really worked didn't it.
People need cars. You cannot remove a system and have nothing to replace it with. Perhaps politians would like to keep the low income peasents off the roads so they can get a clear run from Whitheall to Cornwall during peak our? Pase the bolli jeves and damn the speed camera (probably both claimable as travel expenses).
