Boy , a big F to MTA and this city that lets em come up with this *. This congestion pricing Monster was created by greed and bad policy. Paying too many people to think up this * . While the 4 other boros could keep being worker bee slaves to the gobermint.
Let Uber/lift ,citi bike, bus and bike lanes, and the rest of the nonsense get approved and applauded. These are the vicious smoke and mirrors created years ago to * Joe Public and his fam!!!
And the MT *A gets to call the shots????? Hows about stop paying people to think, place an extra tax on Uber CitiBike Amazon blue vans ? * them and the hole they came out of!!!
Convinience (to make people lazy and give in) is the kool aid being offered. Lets get back to the good old days where you must go out and buy stuff, walking.
Cant really blame people concealing their plates, or going unlicensed electric.
The city literally let 100K+ Uber/Lyfts infest the city daily annd take business away from the MTA and then they claim we have too much congestion so we need a tax. No one sees the game?
Part of the thing that I don't hear people discussing is what this will mean beyond Manhattan. Government getting a taste of a new revenue stream is only going to think about how to further grow that source. "Congestion pricing" will be coming to an outer borough near you in the coming years. Mark my words.
Since most people believe that congestion pricing is not being implemented to solve traffic issues, this brings a question to mind
What are some ways that NYC can actually reduce congestion in heavily vehicular trafficked areas, cheaply?
Properly rework traffic patterns and improve infrastructure across NYC. It would be a huge undertaking that would span upwards of a decade if done without the usual NYC union drag out a job 5x and that is why the **** for brains we have as so called leaders don’t even want to begin to discuss it.
Instead the **** for brains we have working for the city are literally dropping stop signs and stop lights on every corner.
I’m not lying when I say that the city is actively making traffic worse and more dangerous by complicating patterns all across the city.
The first 3 months of 2024 have seen the most pedestrian deaths since 2014.

Explain it to me like I'm in kindergarten. What does reworking traffic patterns consist of?

Well for starters restore many of the lanes that have been excised for bike and bus lanes, and removed obstructing planters from blocks like 43rd Street. To some extent this traffic nightmare appears to be deliberate.

I gave Reps. At least you put some thought.

Thanks. As far as 43rd Street goes I had breakfast on that block on my way to Court. I have always wondered who in their right mind would deliberately gel up traffic outside Grand Central Terminal. See Item No. 8 on this OP, Does NYC Mayor and Transportation Dept. deliberately gel up traffic?Is there some mad genius planning, or political correctness at work? Are they creating the "congestion" to justify "congestion pricing", so politicians have more money to spend?

Limit the Uber cars out there. I noticed Uber vehicles floods NYC streets contributing to congestion. Excess Uber vehicles could be a contributor to their protest of not a livable wage.
At least yellow cabs are limited by the medallians that TLC doles out limit the flood of cabs out there.
I heard delivery to Manhattan will cost more business going raise their price to offset the cost.
