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

[Procrustes Stretched]

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

The Trump's went back. Go ask them.

 

[Procrustes Stretched]

yeah, the takers, not the providers.

More reason for earners to move somewhere else.

you're so clueless here

The idea is to steal money.

It's legalized theft.

That's true. NYC has always resorted to raising car tolls to support their insanely wasteful transit system. This isn't anything new it's just a little more brazen in the amount they want to charge. Greed has always been a hallmark of NYC government. Hell, the tunnels into the city already cost $17 for a car. Back to MAGA

The transit system is what makes NYC possible
There is no other way all those skyscrapers could exist without a place for employees to park

But it's a balancing act. Portions of the financial district are already blowing off Manhattan for less expensive digs. If they don't watch themselves, Manhattan could lose a lot of jobs, just like some of the big unions did here in Pa. And the cause is mostly greed. Back to MAGA.

Like Yogi said….Nobody goes there anymore, it is too crowded

NYC is suffering from too many people jamming into lower Manhattan

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
• The plan is expected to generate $1 billion for the MTA’s capital plan
• There are many discounts including for drivers taking various tunnels into the city and for-hire vehicles
• Congestion pricing toll plan unveiled

• Public and private commuter buses are exempt from the fee, but charter and tour buses would pay a fee.
• Small trucks, such as box trucks, would pay $24.
• Large tractor-trailers would pay $36.
• A per-ride $1.25 charge for yellow, green cabs or black cars.
• A per-ride $2.50 charge for Uber and Lyft ride share vehicles.
• Drivers would only pay the fee once a day.
• MSN

Yet the one millionth example of leftists instituting policies they think will help and won't.
