I was not part of the discussion in that part of the thread. I agree with the statement that "mass transit coupled with congestion pricing can reduce congestion". I disagree with the statement that "if mass transit is ignored in favor of personal cars as transportation, then you can't use congestion pricing to get out of congestion", for the reasons I've already stated. Saying that "people will have to drive, regardless of price" is indicative of being unfamiliar with the economic way of thinking about tradeoffs.
