how about this Major that NYC have he would like
charge all who visit city below 86th. street $ 8.00 fee
and truckers $ 26.00.


London, England has had this type of thing for some time now. They want
about $14/day. Since introducing the fee, private traffic has dropped
nearly 40 percent, cyclists have nearly doubled and bus passengers have
increased 50 percent.

Interestingly enough, the American ambassador who took his post in July
205 refused to pay the fees. Including fines, the embassy owes around a
quarter-million dollars.

How do they charge mopeds or small motorbikes? Or doesn't Britain have
those?
