My last job i spent 3 years commuting by public transport in London. Ive now spent 3 years driving in London and driving is much better.

Driving in London cheaper than public transport?? Ever consider you might have been doing it wrong? :p
Peak time travel card is £15 a day now. Providing you avoid the congestion charge which is fairly easy, you can get across town for less than £15 easily!
I don't live too far outside london and its £15 to get into the center of london on the train and thats not even a return although admittedly most of the day that would be faster than driving. My train to work is £13.40 return for what would be a 70 mile round trip in the car which would cost half that in diesel.

I do not believe for one minute that this is a genuine effort to clean up the air in London.Most of londons air pollution is from the airports sadly but i don't see them fitting catalysts to the back of all the jumbos at heathrow.
