    Get the bus or tram? It's not like Manchester has poor public transport links.

    Come to East Yorkshire and you'll see just exactly what poor PT is.

    I don't understand why anyone would drive into manchester at peak hours at all. With the bus\train\tram links its easy from pretty much anywhere within greater manchester.

    Remember that these charges are only for peak times so will not affect a large amount of people who dont work 9-5 roughly.
    The only way of finding the limits of the possible is by going beyond them into the impossible.

    most people I know who work in manchester travel from the outskirts and a 10-15 minute car journey becomes a 2-3 bus 1 hour ordeal.

    Public transport just isn't safe, puntual, clean or fast enough - hence the reason so many people do drive into manchester everyday.
