Effective ride-hailing services like UberPool and Lyft Line make congestion pricing feasible. Congestion pricing can banish traffic from the face of the planet.<p>Our roads can move a certain number of vehicles per minute at their maximum throughput. When more cars attempt to access the road, throughput goes down. Set the price of driving on a road at the level that maximizes throughput.<p>As prices go up, some people won&#x27;t be able to afford to drive alone. Instead, they&#x27;ll pick up paying passengers, or pay another driver for a ride. As more people desire to travel in San Francisco, the price will go up, and more people will share a van (or a bus!) to get where they need to go. Traffic won&#x27;t come back.<p>Today, San Franciscans pay for their commute by sacrificing time they could spend with their friends and family. Instead, we should pay by sacrificing personal space during our commutes.<p>Subways are an unnecessary expense when our streets are so poorly utilized. We can triple the capacity of our roads by charging a price that keeps traffic moving.
