The worlds not set for it yet. So many villages, communities and people are in public transport black spots for any form of transport.
Lopping tonnes more tax on them right away would isolate them even more driving more into poverty.
The place I am originally from gets a bus once an hour and takes an hour and two busses to get to the nearest supermarket. The place I live now I see busses so irregular I don’t actually think it has a time schedule would isolate what is already a pretty impoverished area even more.

Please explain why road pricing would be bad for not-London. I'm clearly missing something.
I'm not proposing an increase in tax on motor vehicles in general - just collecting it based on usage. The current system where car ownership is massively front loaded and incremental journeys are cheap disincentives alternatives that are better for the environment (global and local) and us.
