Congestion pricing is a system where drivers are charged a fee to enter certain high-traffic areas during peak times, aiming to reduce traffic congestion and pollution. Proponents argue that it effectively reduces traffic and emissions while generating revenue for public transportation improvements. Opponents argue that it unfairly targets lower-income drivers and may simply shift congestion to other areas.

No, you can't expect people to not drive when there are few, no or poor public transport alternatives. Park and ride systems would be more effective.
@9MQKDQT7mos7MO
Only if they invest that money in public transport so people can still get to work
@6STLFZ9 3wks3W
Not unless companies provide relief for the employees they're forcing back into the office and thus pay the fees
@9ZV4F9Y4wks4W
No, and there should be a push towards using electric vehicles and public transport instead of using petrol and diesel cars
@9ZPK6TL1mo1MO
I am uncertain of whether this works on its own. It requires other strategies such as ensuring public transport is invested in so that people can still get around if they can't afford pricing.
@9ZDJ68Z2mos2MO
Yes, but the fees collected should be reinvested into transportation infrastructure, helping fund road maintenance, public transit projects, or other urban planning initiatives.
@9WQ48H22mos2MO
Ideally no as it will be financial strain on working people but if it clear it is being invested back in clean fuel and energy or better public transport I suppose it's passable
@9S8WSXY4mos4MO
No. This puts people who cannot afford to pay the fees yet require a work van at a disadvantage. Yes, if this price is subsidized.
