Trade and service vehicles would of course have incentive to work at off peak hours and establish satellite offices. Maybe we don’t need to exempt them after all.
You are one sad individual, aren’t you. Oh well. I guess it’s how you were raised.
I thought this would have been incredibly obvious, but apparently not, so let me spell it out in detail. Let’s suppose you’re a plumber working in the New York City area, and someone on the other side of town asks you to come fix their pipes. If the highway to get there is very expensive, you’re going to charge them more, so they’re going to look for a plumber that is located closer to their location. Or, if you work for a large company that has one hub for the greater New York City area, your company might invest in several smaller hubs, so that they can be more local. Does that make sense? Can you imagine it? Is it too difficult for you to conceive of?
And I’m not saying that you should like such a system, or that such a system is better or worse than what’s currently in place, but it’s one possible result of making certain roads more expensive to use.
As for off peak hours, nobody said that all trade jobs should be done in the middle of the night, but if you can’t imagine several that could, and many that often could, then you have an issue with your brain.
Do people think we’re all on the road, at the same time, going to the same place, just to be annoying?
Also, if they do try this, trade and service vehicles should be exempt, otherwise it will be just another cost to pass on to the client.
Add an exception for people carpooling and require that funds raised by the congestion toll support public transit options.

Fuck right off. Also, tradies don’t work at an office, you do understand that right?
