These replacement taxes need to come from road use charging, to deal with congestion during commutes.

Shifting non-essential travel to an hour earlier or later in the day will have a hugely beneficial impact in unclogging many cities.

"Essential" means "all bosses have agreed on this arbitrary time to start work so all workers can enjoy congestion and stuffed subways".
