The Stockholm are is a little bigger http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:S..._tax_area.jpeg Cycling increased over 20% in the first year of the tax.

Any price system for transport will have a geographic border. As the zone increases in size, you might need to charge in steps, the same way the public transport fare structure works.
