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.
@B34KD8P1wk1W
No, alternative forms of transport should be prioritised
@B2YT3KY2wks2W
Yes, but use the funding to fund public transport infrastructure and pedestrian accessibility
@B2WGS2X3wks3W
Yes, but only in areas with adequately efficient and affordable public transportation.
Yes but only after implementing better public transport with free use
@B2GHS4H1mo1MO
No, Most urban centres in Australia are not ready yet as they can’t provide good alternatives with public transportation
@9PS99PG8mos8MO
Government should invest in public transport and create walkable, carless cities
@9PGV7QP8mos8MO
implement walkable urban design to reduce car use and therefore congestion
@9NT25LD9mos9MO
No but encourage more greener options of transportation
@9NMLTTX9mos9MO
Only in highly congested areas in Sydney and Melbourne
@B2CRN7Q2mos2MO
Add good public transport like extensive driverless metro and this will reduce road use
No, there should be investment in public transport instead to reduce congestion.
@9W4YDQ54mos4MO
make public transport more affordable and environmentally friendly to support reduction in car usage to reduce this.
To very tight degree, I don’t agree with tolls but certain days of the week singular travel in to congested hubs of one person per car needs to decreased
@9TQ5HHD5mos5MO
Yes, as long as the system does not unfairly target low-income drivers and does not simply shift congestion to other areas.
@9RKZCVB7mos7MO
Yes, as long as it does not unfairly target low-income drivers.
@9PSLVTY8mos8MO
Yes, as long as it does not unfairly target lower-income drivers.
@9MYFHGP9mos9MO
I believe that congestion pricing if implemented should be proportional based on your income, that way, it doesn't unfairly target lower income drivers. Furthermore, I believe that public transportation should be free, efficient and incentivised as an alternative to driving, that way people don't need to drive, hence reducing congestion and pollution.

Yes, but allow a pass of 30 days a year to drive in no charge.
