Road Pricing to Decongest Mumbai

Figure 29 Traffic volume reduction and deterrent charges required for southbound traffic in Island City

The fee mentioned in the graphs above are suggestive and are based on user surveys conducted by the team. After the congestion pricing system goes live, the fee would have to be revised based on the impact of the existing fee on traffic volumes and speeds. The goal of congestion pricing is to maintain an acceptable level of service (i.e. LOS C). If it remains worse than C (i.e LOS D and above), then the price must be increased. If it goes to LOS B, then the price must be dropped. 6.5.2

Corridor-based congestion pricing along WEH

In the case of the Western Suburb (as presented in chapter 5), a congestion charge should be levied on vehicles using the Western Express Highway. A vehicle may be charged multiple times on the corridor depending on the number of gantries it crosses.
