Congestion Charge - Informal exit poll

[blue mash up]

For what its worth i voted NO,the reason i said for what its worth is whatever way the vote goes this road pricing scheme is going to happen Manchester Council and Government want it to happen.Manchester council so it can look like the good kid who did what it was told for a nice little present and the Government because its thier plan to role this out in every city Manchester is the test tube baby.

My main reason for saying NO and im a frequent Public Transport user is,in the documents there was not a single mention of cheaper fares not once and its a disgrace if every tram into and out of the city and every bus for all routes was charged at 1.20 for adults 50p for kids EVERYONE WOULD USE It.

That coupled with the fact that 3 billion is a drop in the ocean ,when all the big companies dip their fat fingers into the pot that money will be gone before you can say were all skint.

I have read that it will mean cheaper fares on public transport

There are at least 200 fewer accidents per year in the congestion charge zone then prior to the charge. Therefore it saves lives. Even if it saves one life it is worth it.

Vote yes

Cheaper!
Not realistic, a train pass in the Manchester network should be no more than 30 pounds a month,Same with Metro,Buses should be even cheaper.
I never saw where they mentioned how cheap the services would be it was a percentage i was looking for and a guide to how long this would be for,thats what i should have actually said i apologise.

Vote yes

And the figures for outside the congestion charge zone? No doubt there were more accidents as people tried to avoid the zone yet, in doing so, took longer on their journey, hence requiring them to drive quicker.

If they dont drive a car they shouldn't get a vote in my view........

ridiculous comment

Why is it rediculous.......its the people who will have to pay who should vote.............if the tossers who want better public transport pay for it then im game for a good public transport system.....dont dress this up as anything other thajn an attempt to tax the car users.

Its the whole thing thats fooking ridiculous.......and tell the world if you drive or not when making these comments...yes i drive and whatevere teh outcoem I dont want to be on some shitey drafty bus not going to where i wanna go.
