    Can anybody tell me how much a drive through the congestion priced road would cost? Like a straight line?

      It’s not so much a congestion prices road, it’s a zone. So anytime you enter that zone you pay $9 unless you make less than like $60 k then it’s like $4-5, and emergency vehicles are free.

        That sounds pretty reasonable actually.

      $9 for cars, no matter if you go one block in or all the way through. And no daily charge for staying there multiple days, only charged when you enter.

        That’s super reasonable, and if it actually helps it’s probably fantastic. I wonder if things like emergency response times will significantly improve as a result.

        Could they make it more expensive for cars that enter the zone once and drive around all day (Uber)

          They actually made it cost less for them. They can either pay the $9 each day or choose $1.50 for each trip (passenger pickup/dropoff) they make within the zone

            So they carved out a protected class for the capitalists. Great.
