Say you've never been to Venice without saying you've never been to Venice.
It's basically always overcrowded with tourists, it's understandable that they would do something about it. All that traffic takes a toll on the streets that were already sinking even without said traffic. A 6โฌ fee to maintain them better is hardly a racket.
