- Description
- While congestion pricing has shown potential benefits in other cities, its application in Switzerland could lead to a range of socio-economic disparities if not structured carefully. The strategy may push low-income workers further away from their workplaces or into more congested areas. Additionally, it may fall short in generating sufficient funds if public transport improvements do not keep pace with the increased fees, contradicting the original goals of reducing congestion and minimizing transport emissions. Compared to alternatives like Smart Traffic Management Systems or Integrated Public Transport Enhancement, which offer more integrated and equitable solutions, congestion pricing presents a higher risk of failing both the current population and future generations.
