Bike.


Asked and answered.


Didn't notice, sorry.


Car. Motorbike.


Do you propose to buy me one?


If you'll buy me one in return.

You can buy me a house too, whilst you're at it.


Car travel in particular would be more expensive than rail travel,
even if there were zero running costs. (A month's C-charge is more
expensive than 1/12 of a Gold Card from my station).


What you mean is that "I have another option, but I don't wish to take
it because it is more expensive", not "I have no option".

Rather different things.

Terry Harper has said there are alternative vehicles which don't
attract the full congestion charge. I'll take his word for that, and
simply suggest that there are options that you are, for whatever
reason, unwilling to acknowledge.
