Common Councillors Donnie Snook and Bill Farren say it has worked well in London, England but fellow Councillor Chris Titus warns against comparing apples with oranges because Saint John doesn't have the same traffic congestion as London or Boston.
Deputy Mayor Stephen Chase says the city wants people to go downtown and a congestion tax could turn out to be counter productive.
Snook questions why city taxpayers should pick up the entire tab of maintaining roads that are used by people who choose to live where the property tax rate is alot lower.
