tl:dw - 15 bucks a day per car to drive through congested areas to fund public transport.

How are people not rioting over this?

If Keanu and Pro BBall players can take public transit...

I'd imagine people who commonly drive cars through New York are rather rich and can easily afford this.

You'd be wrong. Public transportation in NYC sucks ass. Buses and trains are always late, they're always overcrowded and they always break down. MTA will do nothing with the money except shove it up their ass.

If you actually drive through Manhattan, the traffic is caused by taxis and trucks double parked on every street and people walking when they have a Do Not Walk signal and blocks cars from being able to go.

The simple solution is to have trucks make deliveries at night but that will never happen. Have to charge people and then piss the money away on not fixing the infrastructure.

Add it to the pile.
They just don't pay it.

Because it's a good idea? Well. It's an ok idea. As long as they are actually going through with improving public infrastructure

If there were more room for cars, there would just be more cars and the congestion would continue. That's how it works every time. Once a mode of transportation becomes quicker and easier, people flock to it. You aren't solving the problem. That's why public transportation is better

I'd agree if the MTA ever proved they were an organization that actually aimed to improve services. They don't and they won't. They're gonna take this money and blow it on cocaine or some shit. Before the pandemic, De Blasio and Cuomo rode the subway in 2018 when ridership was at its peak and said nothing was wrong with it because MTA specifically made sure the trains were running during the date and time they said they were going to take it.

I've had to wait over an hour for a bus then watch as 4 of them come to my stop and skip it because they were busy jerking off at the depot.

Hence my comment on "if they actually improve public transit"

I have actually been watching Cash Jordan for a while. He's a bit annoying but has been bringing up a lot of significant problems NYC has.
