The TfL document on transport growth and the London Plan has a predicted 11% rise in motorised traffic across London by 2016. This is based upon the assumption that the increases in public transport capacity will happen and that if they don't then the result will be more over crowded trains, buses and tubes.

"In its business plan for 2003/4 - 2008/9 TfL projects a funding gap of some £521.7m between what it wants to spend and what its income is predicted as by 2008/09.
