Driving a car pretty much anywhere is more dangerous than riding the subway. It's not even close.

The main objective of congestion pricing was to raise money for transit under the simple premise that drivers, who cause congestion, pollution, road deaths and lost productivity, should be charged a small fee to bolster transit (which reduces all of the aforementioned deleterious effect of car driving in urban areas).


Or, as Charles Komanoff put it this week in Vital City: "The theory underlying congestion charging is as close as economics ever comes to axiomatic: Society is made better off when the negatives (sometimes called externalities) of goods or activities are covered — that is, included — in their price."
