The fact that you'd need to even own a car to get to your job is a massive barrier for people with low incomes. The fact that we are spending money building roads that we could be spending on other social programs is way more harmful to the poor than any congestion tax could be.

If this congestion charge reduces traffic and makes buses run faster, it's possible that it would actually massively benefit poorer individuals.
