I mean you're just making efficient transportation something that wealthy people can just buy...
Private vehicles aren't efficient, they're convenient.
Your comment presumes that everyone has access to public transit that suits their needs. Many people do not.
Which would be the case if there was no caveats for people with low incomes and those with mobility concerns... however, there are discounts and even full on exemptions from the congestion pricing.

All those green lines aren't supposed to be an example of efficient transportation? Is that not exactly what the author is trying to convey?
No, those coloured lines are just the traffic indicators on Google maps, green just means "traffic flowing normally", red is "traffic jam"
You said "no" but everything after that said "yes".
Traffic flow is efficient. Cars are (very often) not
Thank you
