Assuming it means congestion pricing is a poor tax. The ruling class mandating return to office forces people to commute when they otherwise wouldn't need to. Congestion pricing forces those workers to either pay in wages for the toll or pay in time (at least in my city) by making the commute longer.
The pricing isn't enough to impact the rich and it's too much for those forced to commute. Forcing them to pay in time to take public transit reduces the congestion (and cost) for those who can afford the toll. At best it deters someone from making a trip that is able to do so at a better time.
Minimizing the need to live in or commute to dense population centers would do more for congestion than congestion pricing.
Agreed.
