- freejazz 2y agoI thought London's traffic returned to the same levels as prior to their congestion pricing?
- evgen 2y agoIt has not. Traffic levels are down 15-20% while number of visitors to the inside of the congestion zone has increased. Traffic speed inside the zone has also increased slightly. Overall, London's example shows that congestion pricing works as advertised.
- eru 2y agoSingapore is probably the better model to look at? We had congestion pricing before London.

- polon 2y agoSo far, none of the data provided by the linked site would suggest Manhattan will see a reduction in transportation times. This is with the Monday snow however, which I'd imagine caused delays by itself. I will say, being in Manhattan, their seems to be less traffic on the road. I wonder if Google Maps traffic data is using a rolling average of ~7 days or something
- asdff 2y agoGoogle maps traffic data is live
- yt-sdb 2y agoAre you sure? Compare before/after for the main affected regions (Holland Tunnel, Queensboro) versus the unaffected regions. We definitely need more data, but I think there's an immediate reduction in the obvious places.
- blehn 2y agoAccording to this data, traffic is reduced on the bridges and tunnels but not within Manhattan itself, e.g., going from Hell's Kitchen to Midtown East or Greenwich Village to Alphabet City.
- polon 2y agoYou're right...I was only looking at internal Manhattan, but the bridges and tunnels seem to show a significant reduction in transportation times
