New York’s congestion pricing program has seen a strong start, with revenue figures from the Manhattan tolling plan showing it is on track to raise billions for the region’s decaying mass transit system. Here's what to know. https://nyti.ms/4bj0gDI

Meanwhile, the State and Fed government spent billions(?) on improvements to LIRR and Grand Central connection so LI residents could better use transit. They should take the train and be grateful.
I heard some NYers side with Trump over this, plus the fact they think they’ll be getting $5-8k stimulus checks. Don’t be fooled people. Don’t be sell outs. Trump does not give two 💩 about anyone but himself.
Can you explain how? Just seems like a way to get more money out of people for the same service. How does making public transportation more expensive during times when people need to be transported make it easier? From my pov that just seems like its keeping poor people from using it?
Driving within NYC is not public transportation. Congestion pricing is an investment in the subway and bus system. It diverts people to mass transit. Busses are making better time within the city and even coming from NJ.
Oh I see thank you! See I was under the impression it was the public transportation that was getting taxed on similar to how ubers are more expensive when its busy. So its charging drivers to drive on the roads. I like that
When people gather for a particular purpose, and there is a (formal or informal) expectation/process of what is going to occur, do you get to disrupt it without consequence?
It doesn’t matter the topic or faction.
It certainly doesn’t matter what “authority” the people have who enforce order.
Excellent. Except of course the hopelessly inefficient MTA is gonna waste at least 50% of the money in bureaucracy and let the other 50% vanish due to over the budget incompetence.

NYT = FASCIST COLLARBORATOR TRASH
This article should be read as prefatory to NYT gloating over the kkkristofascists destroying this successful program.
