The congestion tax here (yeah, it's a tax, we got laws against charging people to use public roads, apparently) might be $112, but ALL of it FOR DECADES to come are committed to pay for a motorway "by-pass" (almost exclusively for suburb-to-suburb traffic). Why so expensive? after environmentalists complained for years, the whole project got new life when the brilliant idea to make it 95% tunnels was launched. Even huger waste of money, but now it won't disturb a couple of parks with endangered frogs in 'em, so the greenies are much quieter.
\end rant.
My point is: make sure the money goes to transit, and not to increase the car-dependency of the region!
