Workers want a nationwide congestion charge to ease travel chaos, according to a report today.
Road delays have worsened in the past year, making almost half of workers late at least once a week.
A survey of 6,000 people across the UK found they missed an average of 25 minutes work every week because of travel problems, costing industry more than £6 billion a year.
The poll by employment firm reed.co.uk found many workers believed a congestion charge would force cars off the road and speed up journeys.
