Quote:quoteeople will generally absorb greater cost to themselves if it means they don't have to put any more effort in.....with exceptions, of course. Hence why we have had steadily increasing levels of fuel tax but no actual decrease in road users - just more people who complain about it.There is some truth in that, especially if the increase is slow and incremental (as with road tax, although I think that has actually been frozen for a while, hasn't it?). However, a sudden change that makes a noticeable difference to the actual cost of your journey, and that the cost to the journey in a much more transparent way, has a better chance of changing people's behaviour.
