think this will be hitting the likes of Cardiff and Bristol in the not so distant future

it will work effectively in Brum as it got good rail and bus transport links in and around the city although heavily congested but I don't think Cardiff or Bristol have the same infrastructure if they plan on taking us off the roads and onto public transport

just look at East Cardiff not 1 rail station in operation yet !
Think Clean Air Zone's will be the future of charging motorists. From the council's perspective they should've followed Nottingham's lead and introduced a Workplace Parking Levy, they paid for their tram system with theirs, increased public transport usage and reduced emissions. With covid being in our lives and the almost certain change to peoples working habits and office usage, a WPL wouldn't work as well anymore I imagine.

Many of the schemes the council are trying to implement are the right idea, just being pushed about by one too many bluetits.
