Three scenarios concerning different mobility pricing strategies have been analysed for the city of Gothenburg in western Sweden. The objective has been to give insight in and disseminate knowledge about the effects that mobility pricing in congested urban and suburban areas induces on society in terms of energy savings and social overall benefits. Results from the simulations, based on the MTCP and DAPATM models, show that a flat daily fare, resulting in comparably high costs for short journeys, brings the highest overall impact on vehicle kilometre use of private cars (i.e. biggest reduction in emissions), while a fare based on distance travelled brings the highest costs for the travellers.
