Reading
passage contends that congestion pricing has significant benefits. On the other
hand, the lecturer brings up several reasons to contradict this argument.
First,
the lecturer argues that congestion pricing makes driving much danger.
Congestion pricing could reduce the volume of traffic, and, in this situation,
cars will raise their speed. And, there was a research that car’s driving speed
is related to severe of injuries. This means that congestion pricing could
increase severe of personal injury from car accidents. This contradicts the
reading passage’s argument that congestion pricing makes driving much safer.
Second,
according to the lecturer, the congestion pricing system can make city’s public
transportation network more convenient, much later. In first, there are limited
capacity to take people by buses. Therefore, it is difficult to take buses.
Some people would pass buses, and stop the bus. As a result, people could feel
inconvenient for transportation. This casts doubt on the reading passage’s
assertion that the system help transportation to become more convenient to use.
The
final point made by the lecturer is that the congestion pricing has a negative
effect on business within a city. The reason is that most client come to store
by driving their cars. The system could reduce the number of client. For
example, in London, it was real that some shopkeepers blamed congestion charges.
This counters the reading passage’s claim that the system help businesses in a
city.
