Municipal Commissioner Ashwini Bhide has suggested that congestion pricing could be a solution to traffic problems, but only after a public transport upgrade. A robust and well-connected public transport network would need to be in place to provide citizens with a viable alternative to private vehicles.

This approach has been successful in cities with strong public transport systems, such as Singapore, which has a network of metro, monorail, bus, and waterways.

Further details on the proposal and the conditions under which congestion pricing might be implemented are available from the source.
