Wendell Cox details his experience with public transit through London. Under congestion pricing, things will get worse, not better.
"Being familiar with Londons geography, I set off on a three block walk to Euston Square Station, where I could catch the Circle Line, by which I could access Victoria Station in either direction, though circuitously, while avoiding the Oxford Circus area. After purchasing my ticket and passing through the entry gate there came an announcement to the effect that there were long delays on the Circle Line in both directions. So, I forfeited my second public transport fare and returned to Euston Station where I and perhaps 200 other people waited in the Taxi queue that testified to the shortage of supply relative to demand."
