9 times out of 10, it is purely voluntary on the part of the car driver as to whether they drive in the congestion zone - Londons public transport system is much better suited to large numbers of people using it than most other (if not all) British cities.
Absolutely - i commute by train as it is the cheapest way to work and it gets me there efficiently. Just frustrating when it is Hobsons choice to pay it. I can see this becoming more frustrating when the zone extends. I often drive to Earls Court / Olympia to exhibitions as train travel is awkward, this will now be a chargable drive, yet a drive to Canary Wharf is not!
