The effects of a road congestion tax
"Matt Bourke" wrote in message om... "Oliver Keating" wrote in message ... ... But of course free market forces only work if people are charged for the services (ie roads) that they use. Currently roads are free(1) (1) So you may argue about fuel duty etc.etc. but this is unbelievably crude in terms of road pricing as to be ignored. ... Here here! Let's price the riff-raff in their mass-market hatchbacks and super-minis off the roads. Let them use buses. Give the roads back to the wealthy! Yes that is a problem. Perhaps the tax you pay could be based on as a percentage determined by your car's value and CO2 output, rather like with company car tax. That would eliminate the regressive nature of the tax.
