Title
Who has the right to travel during peak hours? On congestion pricing and 'desirable' travellers
Author
Abstract
Congestion pricing concerns the right to travel during peak hours. Most proponents of pricing propose an impersonal and anonymous allocation mechanism based on the willingness-to-pay of the person who travels. This view builds on the concept of private property rights and we confront this view with a different conception of rights, one based on needs. Furthermore, we discuss the results of an illustrative experiment in which respondents allocate access rights to hypothetical travellers. We can conclude that replacing individual self-judgment by judgments of others offers a fresh perspective on congestion pricing.
