WHICH CONSUMERS BENEFIT FROM CONGESTION TOLLS?
When considering a consumer who can choose to travel on a congestible fast mode or on a congestible slow mode, users who most value time will use the fast mode. A toll on the slow mode can induce some people who initially use that mode to switch to the faster mode. A toll on the slow mode with revenue not returned to users than necessarily reduces the welfare of all users. A toll on the fast mode may raise aggregate consumer surplus.
