Secondly, some of the recorded changes in transport patterns (which are often uncritically attributed to the congestion charge) may in reality be caused by exogenous events.3 Thirdly, in some cases the congestion charge could be the most important element, but not the only one, of the policy changes that a city might have introduced during the same period (e.g. increase of bus supply).
