Study: Traffic Tax Plan Could Fund Free Subway

Submitted by Thomas D, Jun 30, 2007 20:59

If you really want to do away with congestion do away with toll booths wich stop the flow of traffic in and out ofe city at just about every point of entry into the city which inturn just backs up into the local streets. if congestion was the real; issue why not just make no street parking in the city and that would help clear the sreets for the flow of traffic and busses

Congestion pricing is just another tax on people,and like all taxes they only go higher and efffect more people.This will not stop at the city line
