See London's congestion charge 'too successful' to see what a fine mess Red Ken and TfL have got themselves into 
"London Mayor Ken Livingstone's congestion charge has cut traffic so successfully that he now faces a huge cash crisis as drivers avoid the charging zone." - as in a SIXTY FIVE MILLION POUNDS shortfall!!
...i bet that Crapita don't make a loss though

based on that budget forcast, they expected the charge to make NO diference to traffic levels, so it was just a money making scheme.
How Ironic is it that they are now moaning they may have to cut road safety schemes because of the shorfall in funds. You have to laugh.
