The first published reference to it that I can find is in George Goodman's "The Money Game", where he attributes it to Keynes. However, there are a number of Keynes quotes which don't appear in his writings - the original source for many of them are remarks made at seminars at Cambridge in the 30s, many of them coming into print via Joan Robinson. So it's most likely not apocryphal but the source you're looking for doesn't exist either. It does not appear anywhere in the written works of Keynes.

Daniel Davies nicely summed up our consensus here: http://d-squareddigest.blogspot.com/2007/05/bits-and-pieces-congestion-pricing-road.html Basically, Keynes probably said it in his lectures, and Joan Robinson is probably the original source. Unfortunately, no one took the time to actually go through Robinson's works and find the first mention of the quote. But Keynes DEFINITELY never wrote it. Of that we were sure.
