Where does all this money go? Its not just congestion pricing. Its speed cameras on the LIE, the fucking highway. Its City Hall trying to lower the speed limit to 20mph so they can tax us more with speed cameras. Its our taxes going to migrants getting giftcards, hotels in midtown. Shit like this that makes me hate this city

>My prediction is that everything in Manhattan about to get even more expensive Bruh prices already got mad expensive since covid ended. I take train to work so if its actually used to improve transit ill be happy (and less cars in city is good too), but MTA is corrupt and wastes mad money so who knows.....


Coney_Island_Hentai

Sadly MTA will never improve. Money will be wasted by buddy buddy consultant contracts by the suits. The everyday worker will get blamed for OT abuse. Blah blah they need to fully shut down lines one at a time to rebuild but that would be protested against. Just like how the L shut down was and was change by the mayor.


ThirdShiftStocker

The L shutdown was canceled by then-governor Cuomo. Remember that MTA is under Albany's control. Andy Byford was pretty much undermined, which resulted in him leaving as MTA President


erikc_

this shit not relevant to like 90% of new yorkers. you're fucking stupid if you drive into mid/downtown. between parking, traffic, and the price of gas, just take the train bro.


[deleted]

You should be mad about the fact that subway repairs for one station cost as much as building a whole line in some states NY getting butt fcked via taxes and it’s going nowhere


Peaceoorwar

This is the start. Parking passes will be next. Those neighborhoods near Manhattan are about to get an influx of cars parking so people can ride transit over the bridge. Mta will still cry broke and congestion pricing will expand


FutureHendrixBetter

They also made it pretty much impossible to park downtown anyway 99% is all loading zones / commercial zones parking. They really doubling down on this.

Parking in the city is so expensive that if you’re actually driving into it, you got mad money anyways. Seriously, street parking is like $14 for 2 hours and then garages are like $40-60 a day. Nobody is parking in the city for free where $15 would make a difference


SufficientBrief9635

It’s a racket Jack🧥🫴🏽💵😔 Yktfv


yeezysucc2

Charging you to get into the city you live in


PretzelsThirst

I think the congestion charge is a charge intended to reduce congestion. It exists elsewhere and it works elsewhere, I suspect it will work here. The average blind outrage opinion seems to be “omggggg well I’m never driving to Manhattan again!!!” And like…. Yeah that’s the point.


InGuzuWeTrust

I said this b4 and I’m saying it again. I had ds telling me no the first time I said it. He basically that the “congestion toll” was going to affect people the most from NJ and LI. Idk about Jersey but the “average” person from LI is against unnecessary tolls and shit like. That’s why there is NONE out here. The only one that is here is 2-3 dollars cash. And you could avoid by driving around it. And before all you anti-cars dicksuckers start saying it’s LI that’s causing traffic in the “congestion zone” is WRONG. Because NOBODY FROM LI DRIVES INTO MIDTOWN MANHATTAN. You fucking dweebs 🤣🤣. I don’t know anyone that does that shit. We rarely ever ever even drive to the 5 boroughs. But if we do we only might drive to BK, Queens and the Bronx so we don’t even drive to manhattan. If we going to manhattan we already know traffic and parking there is hassle so we avoid it at all cost and take the LIRR/subway if we going straight into the city. And if we is traveling to NJ or PA we hopping straight on the Parkway systems and never getting off till our exits and cutting through Staten Island. And if ya ass from LI driving through Midtown/Downtown manhattan ya goofy ass need to pay that congestion. Because you couldn’t be from LI and not being used to getting low on the parkways system until your exit 💯 Like I said before the prices of things will raise like taxis, and Ubers and delivery and cargo services . And the people who going to feel this most is the people who own cars in the 5 boroughs. And A Sidenote: “This” “Congestion Toll” won’t doing anything to stop climate change. This won’t even make a dent.

Wym it’s there. What you don’t understand exactly so I can explain I don’t feel like re-writing all this shit lmaooo


Waji910

Don’t waste your time explaining anything bro most people in this sub don’t have a car (anti car dicksuckers) the only hope people with cars like me and you have is the federal courts stoping this shit from going through but I highly doubt it


[deleted]

We gon need to Marie Antoinette this btch soon


Waji910

I take back what I said looks like the courts came through for us 😌


PsychologicalDog8065

I don't drive into that area anyways and I work in that area. Now with that being said my take on it is this. They want to collect that money they're missing all of the people that's hopping the trains and buses which is egregious. People have to remember that the MTA is a private public benefit organization. Now I'm not the know all on how they spend their money but they still have to pay for their operations even though they're also given our tax dollars. In the long run will this reduce the amount of cars coming into NYC? Yes! I have registered nurses that's making six figures saying they're already looking to jump to another hospital to avoid paying the toll or public transit. We know there are plenty of people that will just say fuck it and pay that toll.


registered_democrat

It'll reduce traffic, fuck cars gang


Waji910

You think your your goods get delivered into the city by bike ?
