- Vehicle-type restrictions have a stronger impact on reducing car use than price increases alone, suggesting regulatory measures can outperform purely economic tools
- Mobile phone data enable a replicable, people-based metric to assess congestion pricing effects while controlling for time-related factors
- Demographic composition (e.g. women and elderly users) significantly influences transport choices, underscoring the need for equity-aware congestion pricing policies
