... Consequently, there is no hard cost data available except information developed for pilot tests or submitted by companies competing to build and operate the proposed VMT fee system in the Netherlands. This report presents cost data collected for each of the aforementioned five revenue systems and presents a comparative analysis of them.

... However, it should be noted that the sample size for cordon systems is smaller than for toll systems, cordon pricing systems have differing objectives (e.g., revenue generation, reduced air emissions, congestion relief) , cities with cordon pricing systems have differing levels of transit service, and cities with congestion pricing have different growth patterns and geographic constraints.
