If this rate adjusted based on the traffic & was readily available to people aiming to drive into the city--both digitally & maybe displayed just before highway exits for public transit stations--it would actually be a solid way to collect revenue & otherwise solve a difficult problem. But I'm sure they'll fuck it up somehow.
