Cynically, I wonder if a sufficient increase in tax / fuel tax relating to IC vehicles combined with an inadequate provision of infrastructure will achieve the desire to shift people out of their cars with no need to slip any of the timelines.



Having spent years commuting by train into the city, relaxing and reading the newspaper, on a journey which was just as quick as by car (if not quicker), and a fraction of the cost, the majority of my colleagues, and seemingly most of the city preferred to sit in traffic at extra cost. The car dependency culture will take a lot of shifting. Most of the people we know refuse to contemplate public transport.
