Blogging Congestion Pricing
May 18th, 2007
In case you missed the event, the Drum Major Institute blog features highlights from a forum on congestion pricing with the Deputy Mayor of London Nicky Gavron, New York City Councilmember Eric Gioia, Central Labor Council executive director Ed Ott and John Liu, chair of the New York City Council Transportation Committee.
The key to the plan in London, according to Gavron, is investing in buses, which are cheaper than rail lines. But it took awhile to convince the Brits. “[Margaret] Thatcher said, if you’re seen on a bus after the age of 30, you’re a loser in life,” said Gavron.
