I was thinking the same thing reading the article. The traffic situation in Stockholm is terribly inefficient, and seems to me marred with short sighted political decisions possibly stemming from these projects being vanity projects more than they are solutions to anything. (I'd like to add that I believe this applies to parties of all color.) The congestion charge backtracking is an egregious example of politicians breaking their promises, definitely agree with this as well.
