Is this a serious proposal or am I missing how this is a joke?
- LargeTomato 3y agoThis person has never seriously considered a public policy solution and they are still learning what is and isn't going to scale.
- fragmede 3y agoChina has an odd-even solution to this - on even days, cars with even numbered plates can drive in the city and the same for odd days. They did this for gasoline rationing in the US back in the 70's as well.
- sokoloff 3y agoThis would be marginally good for automakers. Some people would decide to buy an extra car to have on-going access.
- Ekaros 3y agoI still don't see what is wrong, it prevents congestion, it is fair and equal for everyone. And if they can charge based on license number, it is no more difficult to implement. Isn't the goal here to have less cars in the zone? Thus goal is preventing them from entering. And giving everyone equal chance to win right of entry is fairest model.
- DiggyJohnson 3y agoBut then you would completely lose the ability to plan ahead. You would not know how you were going to travel until the lottery results.
- pgwhalen 3y agoShooting and killing a random 1% of drivers every day would also prevent congestion, and is fair and equal to everyone. There are other considerations though.
