Congestion pricing is one of the most economically literate ways to improve traffic, and those funds can be used to improve infrastructure. It isn't so different from surge pricing in ridesharing apps.
There is a narrowmindedness on the part of opponents of both congestion pricing and surge pricing, because they are ignoring the obvious point that if they weren't paying the fees they'd be paying in terms of time.
Not to mention that congestion has other negatives, like pollution. Infrastructure needs to get paid for somehow. It is fair when it is paid for by the people benefiting from it.
