Why would groceries be more expensive? Do you think a $25 fee makes any difference to a delivery truck loaded with $10k of products?



Not only are delivery vehicles levied an additional toll of up to $32.40 under congestion pricing, but every employee, service provider and vendor who travels by car is also assessed the fee.


I don't even understand the scenario you're talking about now -- are you referring to a delivery driver that would be driving their personal vehicle to work in the congestion zone? And then getting on a delivery truck, which would then need to exit the congestion zone and re-enter in order to itself be charged a fee?

How many people do you think the scenario above applies to, in the real world?
