When he extended the C charge westward, this was against the wishes of the people who when consulted said in clear terms that they did not want it..
Having brought in this joke charge, he said he would not raise it above £5 he back tracked on that promise soon after he was elected..took it to £8
Now the C charge has suddenly become a pollution tax where he decides to go after big cars to as a revenue stream...charging them up to £25 per day which is outragous..

From Boris's website;
The buses have improved
The tube needs to be rescued from the ruins of Gordon Brown's finance deal, so that vital upgrades that were promised actually happen.
The Congestion Charge must be reformed. We must re-invest more revenue in improving our roads, as well as in schemes to encourage walking and cycling. And for every �8 fee, less should be spent on administration.
We must also encourage Londoners to give up their cars by making public transport more affordable and reliable. Cycling must be made easier and safer.
That private finance deal was PPP so beloved by the Conservatives at some stage was it not?
And how is Boris proposing to reform the Congestion Charge? Can please clarify
