Exactly right.
It's very hard to make the transport system better without shedloads of money being put in, years-long disruption for loads of people, and pissing off NIMBYs like the ones that live near Heathrow. You'd be in lala land if you think Ken, Boris, Brian Paddick or whathisname running for the BNP could do it.
Having said that, Ken's done a good job with the congestion charge.
