- Description
- While dynamic toll pricing could theoretically reduce congestion and improve traffic flow, it fails to address fundamental social equity issues and may impose financial burdens on lower-income workers. This alternative also lacks long-term infrastructure improvements, relying solely on pricing adjustments without creating tangible enhancements to the roadways themselves. Furthermore, the evidence of success in other regions does not guarantee similar outcomes in Switzerland's unique context. Tensions could arise from the unpredictability of tolls, potentially leading to frustration among commuters, and contributing to a perception of increased cost of living. Compared with alternatives focused on infrastructure improvements or integrated public transport, dynamic toll pricing offers limited structural change and risk of negative socio-economic outcomes, thus ranking it lower in effectiveness for long-term sustainability.
