Interestingly, The Fares Fair thing caused a 12% drop in road traffic mainly car use in less than 6 weeks of its commencement.

Even with all the more recent initiatives this figure has not been matched, The higher usage is due to the huge rise in London's population.

The intervention by Bromley Council and then the Law Lords arrested that decline by causing uncertainty and the by then 16% decrease soon went back to zero and started to increase rapidly.

Given how congested Bromley Borough has now become, I suspect that they probably rather regret being used as a political pawn.

A legacy of how playing politics to score points defeats well intended initiatives.

I hope that's not too political a comment for this site.
