blackbob:
tax 4x4 and people carriers that can carry 7 people and dont tax the cars that only carry one person think they are getting it around the wrong way
should tax single occupant vehicles to try and cut down the congestion or ban all cars ond employ the ramblers to carry everone around

rangerider:
So hang on...... Me, 6 passengers and Bio diesel will cost as much as taking in 3 regular cars????

Somebody needs to teach that )(*& some basic Maths!

I live in the east end, and my motor dont turn a wheel most of the week, but there is nothing quite like driving round the centre in a mud splattered 4x4 proving that not all of them do nothing more than the school run & tescos.

goblin:
they are not interested in the environment it is just a money making excuse, if the buses and other forms of public transport were brought up to the 21st century then maybe people would leave thier cars at home, but to travel on a rush hour tube or train {7am-9am) involves standing room only and you would not be able to transport livestock in the manner that passengers travel on the tubes !!  So ken should you read this come election time you still will not get my vote .

Feel better for that !

zippy:
pajero = literally 0 emissions :D

have that, but i doubt it'd help, :(

rangerider:
Im glad I work my own hours :) whilst public transport is generally pretty good, its at capacity. If I have to be in the office at a "normal" time, I will go in at 6 just to avoid the sardine experience.

If I take into account time and comfort as well as money, it would not actually be much worse, probably much better, for me to drive into the city and pay the extortion charge than be crammed in with the rest of the cattle. After all in my motor I can use my phone (yes proper hands free kit!) and dont then feel the need to shower again the minute I get into the office, and feel much more relaxed and ready to sit down and face a days work.
