"The result would be social coordination of road use. Those industries which least need their employees working at a particular time would most strongly react to road prices by scheduling shifts to provide the cheapest commutes. If omnipotent, caring Martians were to dictate to every industry when their employees’ shifts should begin to both maximize workplace productivity and minimize traffic, the result would be the same as under a system of private roads."

That's an awful lot of power to put in the hands of a private corporation, and introduces a ton of trust issues and lack of transparency, not unlike current government control.
