NYC close to implementing a new toll to drive into Manhattan.

[AMart]

They want to decrease traffice and raise money to fund mass transit, busses, subway etc. They likely need the money to offset the cost of housing all of these illegals lol.

Congestion pricing toll plan unveiled
It looks like congestion pricing is one step closer to reality now that the Traffic Mobility Review Board or TMRB's recommendations for the toll pricing have been unveiled.
Cars $15, box trucks $24, semis $36.

The plan for a new toll to travel south of 60th Street does come amid two lawsuits out of New Jersey and plenty of objections. But it also comes after several public comment sessions and meetings, with different proposals, including a toll as high as $23. TMRB chair Carl Weisbrod explained what guided the board.

“How do we serve the many, not the few,” he said. “And how do we be as fair as possible.”

What You Need To Know​

• Cars will pay $15 per day to drive below 60th street
• The Traffic Mobility Review Board said the guiding principle was fairness

LOL....Of the 87 things I might worry about in the course of a day NYC toll-fucking their citizenry isn't one of them.

Well, ULEZ in London is going down a treat. Gangs are chopping cameras down, others are putting stickers over the lenses. So they have the cameras on vans with a security escorts, so the security guys get pelted with eggs.

It's just a cash cow with control freak mentality behind it.

I can see charging private vehicles in order to get to lower Manhattan. The idea is to force people to take mass transit

But trucks cannot use mass transit and businesses need those trucks to deliver goods

The real fun is going to be people who think they can enter Manhattan north of 60th street and avoid the tolls, not realizing all the intersections at 60th street will have the scanners. The northern access bridges are going to be a shitshow until people figure this out.

then the increase in parking lots right before the rivers, as well as the crush of new commuters at those stations.

Finally, if people do switch to mass transit, what % increase is the current system up to handling?

 

[my2¢]

I can see it. I can just imagine it...

 

[Captain Caveman]

I saw that. Hilarious.

Get ya hack saws out lads, lol.

Thank goodness I don't live near London, nor in a city.

Do you think the New Yorkers will chop the cameras down?

 

[DGS49]

The POINT is not to tax New Yorkers, but to tax everyone who comes into Manhattan from elsewhere. It is the perfect tax. The people represented DON'T HAVE TO PAY IT.

It's like those awful taxes on hotels and rental cars...the LOCALS never have to pay them! Why would a local vote against free money?

 

[Blues Man]

One more reason not to live in or visit any filthy cities

What happens to New Yorkers who live below 60th street and have cars?
Do they pay every time they come and go from the area?

Fairness?

Libs are pricing poor people out of using private cars

There ia nothing fair about that

 

[DukeU]

I can see charging private vehicles in order to get to lower Manhattan. The idea is to force people to take mass transit

The idea is to steal money.

It's legalized theft.

 

[martybegan]

Anyone who keeps a car and lives below 60th Street can afford the congestion pricing.

The real fun is going to be the people just outside the zone going apeshit with tens of thousands of cars parking in their neighborhoods and the drivers hopping onto the closest subway, PATH, or LIRR/Metro North Station. Hell bus stops for the inter-boro busses will be jammed.

 

[Mr Natural]

You don't want to take your car into Manhattan anyway.

 

[jbrownson0831]

LOL....Of the 87 things I might worry about in the course of a day NYC toll-fucking their citizenry isn't one of them.

I will never have to pay that one, at least.

But trucks cannot use mass transit and businesses need those trucks to deliver goods

Which will raise prices for goods that poor people use

NYC close to implementing a new toll to drive into Manhattan.​

Any people will still come flooding into NYC.

 

[martybegan]

Any people will still come flooding into NYC.

yeah, the takers, not the providers.

More reason for earners to move somewhere else.

 

[Blaster]

I've been to New York on business trips and can't understand why anyone would want to live there.
