check again: ```Who Will Pay: Most cars, trucks and taxi and Uber riders.```
> Those tolls will be discounted by 75 percent at night,
which is when most truck deliveries are made
I would bet the value in time saved to a freight delivery business to be stuck in less traffic (composed primarily of passenger cars!) is well worth more than the toll paid
That's simply not true.
Also congestion based pricing strategies have never reduced traffic anywhere they've been implemented. Go ask London.
this is so fragrantly incorrect I don't even know how to respond
they absolutely have, including in London
please engage with some of the published research instead of just guessing
really?
Wrong.

Also London's public transit infrastructure is lightyears better than NYC's and way better managed. This whole pricing scheme is just to shore up the MTA which is massively wasteful with money and never gets any of its projects done on time (by decades).
b) The INRIX scorecard is citywide. Assuming that they went with the conventional definition of "London", ie. whatever lies inside M25, this is an area of 1579 km2. The Congestion charge zone has an area of 21 km2, which is about 1.3% of the total.
