Following London, Rome, Stockholm, and Singapore, San Francisco's aiming to hop on the congestion-pricing bandwagon: the County Transportation Authority is considering fees from $1 to $4 in an 18-month study.

As expected, unhappy motorists think the city should take a different tack. Says one leather-clad commuter: "They should be encouraging people to use motorcycles to reduce congestion and pollution." Hmmm. [Mercury News]
