San Francisco "thought about it" as far back as 2019 and couldn't get their act together to pull it off:

I'm guessing that Uber and other car based services all threatened to stop funding their re-election campaigns if they did it.

Vancouver, BC is another city that considered it - but the incumbent mayor lost the last election, partly due to the issue.

That's quite unfortunate. I'm sure the voters can contemplate their victory when they're sitting in a traffic jam.
