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, but promote high efficiency transit to reduce congestion
@9ZCHMWG2wks2W
The issue is a lack of public transportation infrastructure- congestion pricing will only increase economic pressure on citizens who are forced to drive on their communte
@9ZC74X62wks2W
Yes, introduce congestion pricing for single commuter vehicles so that vehicles that are used for delivering goods and service can do it more cost effectively and quicker.
@9YNMQD92wks2W
I support congestion pricing in principle, as it has proven effective in cities with strong transit systems. However, without similar transit reliability and accessibility in Canadian cities, implementing congestion charges may unfairly burden commuters who lack viable alternatives. Before introducing congestion pricing, Canada should prioritize substantial improvements to public transit, ensuring it’s a realistic and accessible option for everyone. With a robust transit network in place, congestion pricing could then be an effective tool to manage traffic and reduce emissions.
@9YJ9RPL2wks2W
No, there should be more emphasis on work-from-home whenever possible to reduce congestion and reduce pollution.
@9XBCJXQ3wks3W
Cities should provide more buses for usage instead of increasing the prices for users.
@9WVQPGK4wks4W
Yes, only if more money goes towards mass transit.
@9WSJYRY4wks4W
yes, but more and better public transportation systems need to be implemented to support the influx of people.
