The point is to reduce traffic and raise revenue.
- endisneigh 3y agoYes, more reason to adjust to car book value.
- jupp0r 3y agoDo expensive cars create worse traffic?
- endisneigh 3y agoNo but their drivers can pay more thus increasing revenue for public transit, like income all taxes should be progressive :)
- jupp0r 3y agoFrom the article: "Drivers who make less than $50,000 a year or are enrolled in certain government aid programs will get 25% discounts after their first 10 trips every month. Trucks and other vehicles will get 50% discounts during overnight hours."
- endisneigh 3y agoGood start but nothing about luxury vehicles :)
- lkbm 3y agoSurely if you're concerned about identifying how rich someone is, using value of their car is a much worse proxy than using their actual income.
- endisneigh 3y agoSure, let’s do that then. But just so you know excise tax is a thing and uses book value
- codegeek 3y agoYou will be surprised to know that lot of real wealthy people drive normal cars. People who buy flashy cars in America, majority of them finance/lease it and probably couldn't afford it to buy in cash which is what u need to be able to do if ur buying a car.
