Also found the New Statesman supplement interesting, it's sponsored by

Transport Articles :: New Statesman, June 2 2004

Tackling the problems of London's transport system

London is characterised by its transport system probably more than any
other city. The famous London Transport logo, the roundel, embodies
the very essence of the capital and is actively used to attract
tourists who come away full of praise for the transport system. Yet,
to Londoners, the transport system is a constant source of complaint.
The roads are permanently clogged, with traffic speeds the same as
those endured by our Victorian forebears; the Tube is overcrowded and
stifling hot during the summer; and the buses never seem to come until
they arrive in threes.

The simple truth is that if we want more infrastructure and
better maintenance, it will have to be financed by some form
of taxation, local or national.
