New York City is reviving its plan to charge a fee for driving in congested areas. Experts say policymakers can learn from a similar program in London.

New York announced that most cars will now have to pay to enter the city at peak hours, a hotly debated move intended to reduce traffic.

New York City will adopt congestion pricing on certain roads in January, Governor Kathy Hochul announced, after an 11th-hour delay earlier this year cast the programme into doubt. The revised plan features lower fees for vehicles entering designated zones of Manhattan.
