suggestions to trigger out of the box thinking:
- usage fee instead of fuel fee? technology enables us to do this now.
- encouragement for home-offices, telecommuting,
- taxation of users against imporving mass transport
- schools and youth getting off roads – should age limit go up? should they be given free bus passes?
- 20% of road-users are retirees – so people who have to be on roadsat peak times are affected by non-urgency travellers
- trucks only at night and non-peak hours
- effective planning by the government that distributes hubs of activty and then connects them by public transit
