The main flaw with this article is that it's reasonable to think that since car transportation is already expensive for the poor that there shouldn't be even more costs for the poor. In "realpolitik" one can't really vote for "congestion charges but only if we remove tax A from the poor".
So yes, people can acknowledge that many things about transportation are inequitable while still believing that congestion charges are inequitable.
