The buses would have been exempt from charges Shill, and the bus companies would have benifited from extra bus stations and bus lanes making it easier for them and, therefore, reducing their costs. Whether these reductions would have been passed on to their passengers would have been up to them of course.
Your pricing was off too .. it would have been £1 to cross the M60 in the morning, £2 to cross the inner ring road. £1 at night to cross both. Full cost £5 per day at peak hours. (people going out in the morning and coming back at night, of course would not be charged).
Yes, I did think it was fair to levy these charges, have to look at the whole picture for the good of society. Ah well, all done and dusted now sadly.
