The Congestion Charges Act went as follows:
Congestion Charges Act[]
Under this bill, a congestion charge will be emplaced in the centre of the major towns of Ostentia:
The other regional capitals are too small and not busy enough to merit a charge.
The charge will be £5 per day for a normal car, £15 per day for large personally owned vehicles (SUVs etc). Vehicles needed for commercial use (such as vans or transportation SUVs) will come under the normal £5 per day charge. The charge can be lowered by purchasing by the week (£20 per week for smaller vehicles, £60 per week for large vehicles). This will help to cut congestion and lower pollution in inner city areas.
The bill will be self-financing, with any extra proceeds going towards subsidising bus and train fares, in order to provide a cheap, cleaner alternative.
