NY Congestion pricing / NY tolls going up ...... Ouch ......

It's insane, the "supposed" goal is to reduce traffic in midtown. So guess what...if that works you won't be collecting all this cash from cars entering the city.

It's sort of similar to electric cars - it'll reduce our dependency on fossil fuels they say but will also reduce gas tax collections - so they'll have to figure another way to bend us over.

When will it ever end ?

NEVER!!!?

The money they collect is supposed to go to the subways. Meanwhile our roads look like Berlin after the war. I say, screw the subways. If any money is collected from the drivers, put it right back in to what the drivers need. Repave NY

I agree with you Jaws about at least using the money to help the drivers that are funding this mess. What happens to all the money they collect every time they raise train fares?
Unfortuanately this discussion is missing the point. The politicians want us all to use mass transit, while they continue to ride around in their limos and create even worse traffic jams by blocking the streets when they have to get to there next super important fund raising dinner!

They rob us again with the pen. And Cuomo gave himself a $70,000 raise also( highest paid in nation) It never ends in this state.

The MTA is a failure.

riding the subways is horrible & exhausting, smells, noise, crowds, delays, homeless, metal seats, stop & go, nausea advertising everywhere, ya gotta be young to endure all that before going to the office... cellfish...

EX, on the #1 local line in Manhattan, northbound leaving 14th street the next stop is 18th street, the next stop 23rd street, next stop 28th street and the next stop is 34th street, ridiculous, a 110 year old design still in effect... cellfish...

Subway Ads...

Floodgates are opening, other cities including Philly, LA and San Fran considering the same option. London did it a few years ago, it may become the new "normal" of city living.

"ENJOY!!!" and add this to the Roccus List of 10,000 Reasons I Would Never Live in a City. There are many that are nice places to visit, but that's about it for me!!!

So true


once you get south of NJ tolls pretty much vanish...............

To go to my brother's house in Richmond (170 miles) there is are two tolls - one for the CBBT ($13) & one on RT895 (25 cents). That's it. Continue south to Florida & you don't hit a damn toll the whole way unless you get on the Sun Coastal in FLorida.

If those states don't need all of those tolls to support whatever - why NY/NJ/CN?
