The MTA is a corrupt and absurd intuition.

and congestion prices are good.


see how easy it is to hold two ideas in your head at one time?

Why is the approval rate so low then relative to the 89% of NYers who take the train?

65/35 last I checked were against it.

Wait for Uber/Lyft/Taxis/Delivery services to start adding those fees to invoices.

1. because most people are innumerate don't understand how markets work.

people don't like the fees when they are proposed but when they actually take effect people like.

2. You know what will be even more unpopular? Service cuts from MTA budget shortfalls.

Moneys gotta come from somewhere. might as well get money and reduce congestion.

No matter how you look at it, an extra $200-300 a month for a full time worker per driver is insane.

If you actually lived here and took the trains you'd understand.

No one cares about state of the art subway stations. People care about safety and less craziness on their commutes. No amount of cameras or shiny subway carts will solve that.

Service cuts? Trains service has been garbage for 30 years. Best thing they did was add an ETA of each train and built some apps. That didnt come from MTA funding.

luckily 89% of NYCers take public transit to work.

those things cost money. Money has to come from somewhere.
 
Hopefully Toronto adds congestion pricing.

So many people living in bedroom cities that don't pay taxes driving into the city.

How many NYers are there? ~ 8 mill

90% take the MTA apparently. In reality there are ~ 4 million daily MTA riders.

Lets say 1 million daily drivers going into an out of Manhattan. Thats an insane tax for 1 million cars. Thats more cars than most states.

People coming from NJ are paying $22/day with this new policy. Plus garage/parking. Its ridiculous and the subway issues wont be resolved with this.
 
Knowing NY, this is just going to lead to more stolen and fake plates. Just wait for all these daily drivers to get their first monthly bill.

the 89% figure is taken from people who commute into Manhattan, not all of new york.

is it that the tax is way too much money, or its not enough money?

you gotta pick one.

Instead of tackling issues like fare evasion, employee time theft, unchecked overtime, and rider safety, the proposed solution is to grant them an unlimited pool of money under the pretense of addressing pollution. It's astonishing that people buy into this nonsense.
 
I'm sitting at my desk right now and there are a lot of salient takes against this most prominently from a disabled person who can't take the train and NYC won't recognize her disability who is livid.
