Hell no, this has failed in every place it has been implemented. It doesnt stop people who need to drive at that time from driving it just makes it harder for poor people to get to work.
Just a small reduction in traffic can have a huge impact on congestion. Yes, it will always have some side effects, everything has in politics. The solution is not to not use traffic reduction inventives, the solution is to raise minimum wage/organize.
Any increase to minimum wage at least close to inflation is at least 2 years off in New Zealand so in at least the short term there would be pain to those that are already pay cheque to pay cheque.
