It’s funny how poor people are always the victims in these schemes. In the USA many places let people in electric cars ,that mainly only rich people could afford, into the carpool lanes so they could travel without congestion. Of course the poor bastard in the 16 year old beater had to sit in traffic as they traveled to their second low paying job.
If anything we should let high emissions cars access to low congestion lanes so they spend less time polluting.

- Gibbon1 3y agoIt's worse than that. If you're rich you can pay to use the 'car pool' lane to get down to the googleplex.
- jacquesm 3y ago> If anything we should let high emissions cars access to low congestion lanes so they spend less time polluting. That's excellent thinking. I do wonder though if the number of high emissions cars isn't such that those 'low congestion lanes' would immediately become congested. Personally I don't think any kind of vehicle once approved for road-worthiness should get an advantage over other road-worthy vehicles. Especially not if it ends up being a wealth inequality thing in disguise.
