...and you think it isn't now? Perhaps it is and you're just in the half that have the money and not those that don't.
For me I'm below the level that allows me to run a car and live, so I don't mind - you on the other hand may be pushed into the same bracket as me and don't like the idea. 
Food for thought

Re: Nice One Porsche
Hi fellow members, l must confess, l do start some good threads, don't l, the road systems, that l would like to see in London or any other city/town centre, would be the system they have in St.Albans, Herts, where they have different service areas, for delivery vehicles, and the traffic goes in a circle, and it moves freely, well it did when l drove round it.

Quite appropriate, since we are talking about public transport vs private - Matthew Arnold died running for a tram car in Liverpool when he suffered a heart attack.
Funnily enought, he also said " Nature, with equal mind, Sees all her sons at play, Sees man control the wind, The wind sweep man away"

Arthur, StAlbans has a population of 130,000, and has has a lot of new infrastructure - it would be a little more difficult to match this in a city of 8 million (60 x the size).
