Most people use mass transit to get in and around Manhattan anyway.

Not into the CBD, at least percentage-wise

There are plenty of people who do drive and since many Manhattan businesses are already under heavy stress from crazy rents, reduced business (due to online) and minimum wage hikes, the loss of business from those that drive might be the difference that push them over the cliff.

When you have nothing but bums and tourist walking around like zombies I hope you enjoy the open streets then.

Tourism is the biggest industry in the city.

So use that $2.75 to take the SUBWAY.

Honestly who drives into Manhattan anyway? When I lived in Queens I always took the train despite owning a car and living in a 2 fare zone.

Pretty much any government worker who has the privilege to park does. They're contributing to the traffic and parking problems.

Plenty of people do, especially those in two fare zones.
