💨 Abstract

Reports of a "congestion charge" in Cape Town have caused confusion. The City of Cape Town has clarified that it is not introducing such a charge now or in the near future. The misinterpretation arose from a theoretical idea in the Revised Travel Demand Management Strategy, which includes various long-term solutions to reduce traffic. The City emphasizes that a congestion charge would not be considered until public transport is reliable.
