Gohoff, Wow, -:) no wonder it is newsworthy. I would not really call the bridge a highway in Sweden, but I did pay the bridge a few times. You are cheating a little bit here. I knew about the discussions about congestion tariffs, but never thought that it already was approved. It was a lot of hard work to achieve congestions, so Stockholm could get on the list of busy Capitals and motivate that the politicians could make it an issue. LOL Many years ago I was selling and working with simulation software in Sweden and it must have been a work of art to create so many problems that Stockholm have. Even if they did not reach the status of London and Paris, it was an optimum of what they could achieve to reach the status of a Country Capital. That was a challenge for linear programming, because it was impossible to create so much problems with manual methods. Parking in Linkšping and Norrkšping has always been free, if you only accept to walk 500m, Maybe it is more like 1 km, so you get out on the country side. A little bit more for Uppsala. LOL Come and visit me in Spain and we will find a good temporary solution for the drinking problem, without filtering the fuel. Sweden is one of the countries in the world, with the highest Ethanol use. It is also quite a large part of the population, who are experts on Ethanol production.
