Albany needs congestion pricing

I was thinking how annoying rush hour traffic really is in Albany. There are just too many cars in too little highway space, trying to get out of the city all at once.

If Albany charged like a buck to drive a privately owned automobile into city limits between 7-2 pm, it would greatly reduce traffic leaving the city at 5 pm and greatly improve folks commutes home.

It would raise a lot of money and encourage people to take the bus –  which would be quicker with the reduced traffic.
