The reading passage contends that congestion fees are entirely disadvantages for various reasons. On the other hand, the lecturer brings up several points that contradict this argument. First, the speaker argues that this is no evidence to suggest that a congestion fee would hurt businesses in the city. This is because an example of London is definitely misleading because that time is the economy recession, so it is natural that there was few people for shopping in the city of London. This casts doubt on the reading passage’s claim is that imposing congestion fees can reduce people who want to enter for shopping. The example of London would damage business since people will be able to only to enter free zones. Second, according to the lecturer, there is no proof that imposing a fee would put a financial burden on people with low incomes. This is attributed to the fact that poverty people already using public transportation and they also paying congestion fees either. Consequently, they always utilize the bus which can get people more quickly. This counters the reading passage’s argument is that it is very heavy for the poor to raise their burden owing to have not enough money. With this respect, charged the money for those people would bring about additional stress. The final point made by the lecturer is that it is not important that a congestion fee would increase delivery expenses. This is attributed to the fact that all of the company have consolidated each other, in this sense, it is possible to delivery quickly, not only but to stabilize delivery prices. This refutes the reading passage’s assertion is that small businesses are probable to suffer from the results. For instance, an restaurant has to charge more to buy a lot of eating materials which has to pay for each of the items, their budget will rise precipitously. |
