abstract="In Britain it is widely believed that the cost of travelling by car is relatively cheap once the fixed costs of owning a car have been paid, but this is not the case when all mileage-related costs are properly assessed. This false perception distorts the comparison between the cost of travel by car and by public transport. An awareness campaign on this issue, coupled with a taxation shift from car ownership to use, would be an effective and immediatelyavailable policy tool to help reduce levels of car use and encourage use of other transport modes, in line with the objectives of the 1998 Transport White Paper.<p />",
