#NSWLabor and #ChrisMinns are promising a 'toll cap' for #Sydney motorists in the lead up to the NSW election next month.
After all, we have an Opal fare cap for public transport riders so why not a toll cap for drivers?
Well there are a bunch of reasons...
@jedsetter agree in general. But have you thought about the angle of incentivising people to take tollroads rather than local roads being a good thing? Often these new motorways have been justified this way - Northconnex = less traffic on Pennant Hills Road for example - in theory.
I think I'm saying something like - in the absence of a rational holistic road charging scheme where we charge people more for Pennant Hills Road than the tunnel, because the latter has more negative externalities /
