I am not in favour of pricing the poor or average person off the road. We need better public transport and that means it has to be subsidised more. A full bus carries more than the equivalent of a dozen cars worth of passenger. If people could commute far more cheaply than driving to work it would make a difference.
The problem with what we have, which is subsidised privatised public transport, is that the extra subsidy ends up as executive bonuses and share dividends, not spent on development of the network. If you want extra subsidies to have an effect, you pretty much have to nationalise it first.
Totally agree.
