Numerical answer
The four sentences below, labelled 1–4, can be arranged into a coherent paragraph. Enter the correct order as a 4-digit number.
1. Congestion pricing charges drivers a fee for entering a city's busiest zones during peak hours, aiming to reduce traffic volume rather than simply build more road capacity.
2. Cities that have adopted it, including London and Stockholm, reported measurable drops in traffic volume and improved average travel speeds within a few years.
3. Skeptics initially warned that such schemes would unfairly burden lower-income commuters who have fewer alternatives to driving.
4. In response, several cities have paired congestion pricing with expanded public transit investment funded partly by the very fees collected, aiming to offset that burden.

Show answer and solution
Answer: 1234
Sentence 1 defines congestion pricing. Sentence 2 gives results from cities that adopted it. Sentence 3 introduces a criticism (skeptics' warning). Sentence 4 describes the policy response to that criticism ('In response...'), which must follow sentence 3. The order is 1-2-3-4.
