Re: Congestion Charge

Tony,
there's automated system that captures your numberplate and matches it against a central database of vehicle registrations. The system cost about £160 million to set up with an annual running cost of approx £130 million. Profit, by law, has to be invested back into Londons transport system, which last year was approx $90 million.
