According to Wikipedia "Low-income residents receive a 50 percent discount on daytime tolls after their first ten trips into the congestion zone in a calendar month". So to some extent the system does take your concern into account.

Well it pretends to but no system like that will equalise it.

Do the same as we do with fines, based on income.

So that the congestion charge for a billionaire is also actually significant. Enough for then to reconsider using a car.
