This is the point being made by many of us here in Portland when congestion pricing is brought up. It makes vastly less sense here without good public transit, and it will disproportionately affect the working classes. While the wealthy will continue as usual.

It seems a lot of people here have never been to a larger city during rush our. Our traffic is nothing compared to say, LA or SF.

That's not to say it's not bad, but some people here make it sound like we're the only city with traffic.

Do you think congestion pricing would cause public transit to improve? (I'm interested in others' opinions as well.)

[inpdx]

I think it's putting the cart before the horse. Improve the public transit first. I also have very little confidence that congestion pricing revenue would be spent wisely.

I ride buses. And the biggest reason the bus is late and slow is traffic. So yes, less congestion will help. Also the more riders, the more reason to add frequency.
