Traffic congestion has a number of negative effects such

as wasting time of motorists and passengers, delays,


wasted fuel, increased idling, acceleration and braking
resulting in increasing air pollution and carbon dioxide
emissions etc. Traffic congestion is common in and
around city centers. One of the solution is congestion
pricing (congestion charges), i.e. a system of surcharging
users of public goods that are subject to congestion
through excess demand. The application on urban roads is
currently limited to a few cities, including London,
Stockholm, Singapore, and Milan, as well as a few
smaller towns. The implementation of congestion pricing
for urban road travel has raised several concerns, and has
been subject of debate and controversy. Should [CITY]
introduce congestion pricing? Client: Mayor of [CITY]
