Default London's Integrated Transport Policy

There are two ways to travel into London. One is by car and the other is by
train.

Travelling by car is discouraged by the Congestion Charge. Especially as
there is talk of expanding the catchment area as well. They obviously want
you to catch public transport.

Anyone who uses public transport (trains) can tell you that the system is
nearly full already - this is confirmed by reports that some train operators
are considering increasing the ticket prices to reduce the number of people
on the trains back to a manageable level (as if using a supply/demand model
can work on a public service - where do they get these boffins??!!)

Has anyone in London heard of an "Intergrated Transport Policy" or something
similar? Or are we, the punters, going to get shafted both ways with the
above proposals. There are too many people in London, no one is doubting
that - I just wish they would have the balls to come out and say it - "We
want you to leave - we're full".
