Aside from the question of fairness, it has driven Copenhagen to have more bicycles than cars on the streets, and massive improvements to bicycle-friendliness of streets to accommodate this. It's surely an improvement from a congestion, pollution and population health/fitness standpoint.

- FullyFunctional 9y agodane here: this tax is infuriatingly unfair; the fact is that most politicians in Denmark live in Copenhagen where it might be practical to rely on bicycles and public transport but for the mainland this is a fantasy. There is no usuable public transport and bicyling isn't practical beyond 10 km. The people this hurt aren't living in Copenhagen.
