Support for Stockholm's congestion charge has risen to a record high, a poll by the 4112 Centre for Transport Studies (CTS) has shown. Some 67 per cent of the residents in greater Stockholm that have an opinion on the issue would vote in favour of the charge should the referendum be held today while 82 per cent would vote in favour of the charge if all incomes were used to develop public transport.
In a similar survey from 2005, ahead of the first trial, less than 30 per cent were in favour of the charge, while 47.5 per cent were in favour of it in 2006.
