▶ Your Answer :
The
reading passage asserts that congestion pricing provides several benefits to
the city. On the other hand, the lecture disagrees with the reading’s suggestion.
The lecture argues that congestion pricing actually brings disadvantages, and
strengthens its idea by contradicting the reading’s supporting details.
First,
the reading mentions that congestion pricing results in a much safer driving
environment. However, the lecture refutes that congestion pricing makes driving
more dangerous, because it will result in much more severe accidents when they
occur. Drivers will be able to drive in higher speeds as there are less
vehicles on the roads. According to a research done by Australian government, when
driving speed increases 30 percent severity of the accident almost doubles.
Second,
the reading contends that congestion pricing can make it more comfortable to
take public transportation. Still, the lecture counters that congestion pricing
can actually make it less convenient to take. According to the lecture bus can
be a perfect example. Since much more people are going to take buses, it is
likely that buses will be overcrowded. People will be even more difficult to
catch buses because they might have to pass couple of buses full of crowds.
Finally,
the reading comes up with an idea that congestion pricing can assist the local
businesses by decreasing financial burdens. Nevertheless, the lecture points
out that it is not true in reality. Local businesses such as retail firms might
suffer with decreased revenues. In the past, when congestion pricing was
enacted, local retailers were directly damaged since they were charged extra
payments.
