Exactly two months until the start of congestion pricing

Now they want to give riders a discount for trips that begin and end in NYC
Never mind Nassau. Suffolk, Westchester and Rockland

Someone pass the popcorn ......

...citytickets have existed for years?

But the introduction of a monthly city ticket is new
This is expected to result in 4 MM in lost revenue

The fortunes made on the new congestion tax will be a windfall, along with a proposed increase in bridge and tunnel tolls. The loss will be in business - retail and financial, which is leaving the downtown area and New York in droves. The place is being systematically destroyed.

I've come around somewhat on congestion pricing

1. I'm not stupid enough to drive into Manhattan daily
2. Much of the traffic are people on the road who are stupid enough to do it daily
3. If you toll trucks enough during the day, they will start making deliveries at night, when they should
4. At the end of the day, looking at the voter breakdown, many more D's than R's will be paying that toll
6. The D's voted for this, so let them pay for their stupidity

Pass the Popcorn ......

Let's not forget that at a time where some companies are still struggling to coerce people back to the office (and the City really needing those people to be spending money in the City), the City is now providing more justification for those employees to stay home.
