Cambridge is proposing a congestion charge - so money is being removed from your pocket at a time when things are tight.
Other places drivers are required to drive alternate routes - so their current route to work is being removed resulting in increasing your commute time and fuel cost
Its like, either people are banned from using certain roads and routes in their cars, or they pay to do so. Both cause contention with drivers. What other choices are there to ease congestion?

Depends where is it I guess. I'm not that well versed on it, because it seems like such a basically obvious thing to do I'm still a bit in shock by the debate.
My understanding is that Cambridge is proposing a congestion charge - so money is being removed from your pocket at a time when things are tight.
Other places drivers are required to drive alternate routes - so their current route to work is being removed resulting in increasing your commute time and fuel cost.
In an ideal world you'd start a load of good stuff/quick wins you can do some PR on, then start on the restrictions, then build out the longer term infrastructure and start to introduce the more punitive/restrictive parts.
