Despite great resistance by the automobile owners, policy makers are not likely to compromise. Reasons given seem to be very convincing. First of all, charging congestion fee is universally applied; Singapore, Rome and major U.S cities have adopted it and witnessed some success. More important, congestion fee is charged against the “occupation of public resources”, to be specific, roads. As vehicles volume in Guangzhou is reaching its extreme capacity, major roads during the rush hour are heavy crowded, so congestion fee is a perfect valve adjusting the traffic influx in the downtown area. Meanwhile, comparing with current vehicle tax, it's a relative small amount. Thus burden increase is limited.

it sounds better saying "Witnessed its success"
This excerpt makes it sound smart and really well spoken

This is a very nicely done paragraph. Mistakes are minor, and we can fix that in a jiffy!
Line 2: First of all, charging A congestion fee
Line 4: More importantLY, A congestion fee is charged
Line 5: As vehicle volume (instead of "vehicles")
Line 7: heavILY crowded, so A congestion fee
Line 7: a perfect valve FOR adjusting the traffic
Line 8: Meanwhile, comparED with current vehicle tax,
Line 9: Thus a burdenSOME tax increase is limited.
All corrections are in capitals.

Despite great resistance by automobile owners, policy makers are unlikely to compromise, for very convincing reasons. Congestion pricing is a system of charging vehicles for using roads during peak demand times. These fees have already been imposed in urban areas around the world as a means of managing traffic congestion by regulating the demand for roads, rather than building or expanding roads. Singapore, Rome and some major U.S cities have adopted this system with some success. As vehicle volume in Guangzhou reaches extreme capacity, major roads are becoming heavily congested during peak hours. Instituting congestion pricing could be an effective method of mitigating the traffic influx in the downtown area because cost-conscious drivers would be more likely to avoid the charges by bypassing this area during peak hours of congestion. From the government's perspective, instead of expensive road system expansion projects, this alternative would increase city revenues. From the perspective of the populace, congestion fees are relatively small compared with the current vehicle tax and they are often discretionary because drivers can choose whether or not to use the roads during high volume periods.
