How is it any different than "congestion pricing"? Last time I experienced such, was on my way from the airport to the city. Unfortunately someone had jumped on the tracks, and the trains were locked down for 3 hours while the police etc. came to investigate the scene. During peak hours. Lines to the taxi and bus must have been 200 meters long and 5 meters wide. Checked out Uber, got something like $250 for a 30 min drive.

Not that I necessarily support extortionate pricing like that, but we do live in a capitalistic society.
