If you raise the price of driving higher the the number of drivers lower. Will the increase revenue from the pricehike overshoot the loss in revenue from less drivers on the road?

You've also effectively eliminated owning a car in the city. So now you're asking rural residents to pay for more expensive gas and more expensive toll roads while giving all that money to people living in the city.

I have a feeling politically that would be rather unpopular.

There's not a single state in the country where tolls and taxes pay for all road upkeep expenses. There's not a single state in the country that raises taxes and tolls automatically when revenue drops.

Very few people drive in the NYC area anyway. I think 30% of people? It's not a big deal.

But we want to pay for tramways and bike stations and our nice carless city through raising taxes on automobile transportation (which just plummeted because of above policies).
