Mobility Pricing

[idunno]

I'm a bit surprised at all of the hits against mobility pricing. Regardless of whether we are Stockholm or not, driving is about to become much, much cheaper for many more people with the proliferation of electric cars.

So should we replace the flat gas tax with another flat fee?

Doesn't it seem like a much better idea to replace it with something that discourages driving during busy periods, in congested parts of town? That's what mobility pricing is talking about. And it's the right thing to do.

The argument for a regional scheme is valid however. I hope that Vancouver's leadership in approving this measure starts to build the regional effort towards a larger scale mobility pricing system. TransLink needs a new source of income too after all.
