Statistical Analysis Results
1. Similar to the results of the previous two surveys, the better the public know about the transportation policies, the more supportive they are. In the third public opinion survey, respondents are generally neutral and tend not to support congestion charging policy, among which 26.8% support that, 40.9% do not support, and 32.3% hold a neutral attitude. Compared with the first survey, the degree of support increased, the main reason is that the proportion of non-supporters significantly reduced .Compared with the second survey, the degree of support decreased, the main reason is that the attitude of some supporters shifted to neutrality, while the proportion of non-supporters remained basically unchanged.
