Poor people commute by bus/train, which is far higher capacity per lane and is also cheaper.

Congestion pricing is a luxury tax. The only downside is tradies who need to move their heavy equipment around the city, except this might be a net-benefit for them because getting stuck in traffic costs them more money in the form of longer turnaround times.




Regarding the tradies, could the cost of congestion pricing be tax-deductible or something like that?


It likely would be, just like any other business expense.
