LUKE FRASER. Congestion charging: - Stockholm, Melbourne and Turnbull's legacy-a repost
October 2, 2017
On congestion charging. There are three lessons: first, congestion charges are devilish hard to put in place, even when they work demonstrably well; second, don’t try to implement this in a city where there is no serious traffic congestion, or people will smell it for the revenue grab that it is - and respond accordingly. A third, vital lesson: Stockholm needed more than one level of government support to implement the charge.
