Reply #1: I can't see it happening here.

The Netherlands is a small country and it has decent public transportation. In Amsterdam, a lot of people ride bicycles. And the ferry from the north side of town to the train station is free. Here, we have a lousy public transportation system. The cities are spread out and most people can't get to their jobs if they don't have cars. I think this system would unfairly penalize the working poor, who often can't afford to live near their jobs and have no access to public transportation. It may work well in Europe where they don't usually have to travel long distances and have decent bus or train service. But not here, not yet.
