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, there should be more emphasis on work-from-home whenever possible to reduce congestion and reduce pollution.
@B4PPBZN2wks2W
They should have the option, but only decided upon on municipal level by elected officials and able to be affirmatively renewed every term of office.
@B3DT8TDNew Democratic2mos2MO
Yes, and cities should be organized in a way that promotes walkable cities, bicycle lanes and public transportation
@B38NWBT2mos2MO
No, wtf! What happens if there are accidents or road closures? Don't take away people's options who are unable to pay when they could absolutely NEED to be somewhere on time.
@B3286XS2mos2MO
No, improve traffic by implementing better public transport system, better city planning, and allowing for more flexible work hours.
@B29BM444mos4MO
The last thing we need is more taxes, we the people have already paid for these roads and the maintenance through taxes, build better transit systems, bike lanes etc
@9QW7TQZ10mos10MO
Yes, and create more spaces where cars are not allowed at all.
@9P4BK5L11mos11MO
It would depend on how it is implemented, what routes are affected etc.
@9RBY87R9mos9MO
No, the citizens should not be punished for poorly designed roadways
@9RBWQPY9mos9MO
Build up and stop sprawl. Then people will walk and bike and not use vehicles to congest the roads.
