The problem with the c-charge is that it becomes a poltical football - where the congestion zone is becomes a big debate. In London, there are plans to extend it west, but a lot of the residents don’t want it to extend west because they won’t be able to drive their Jaguars around town without paying £8 a day. I prefer public transport to driving because I can blog and code while on the train.
