They should have made sure the trains are Safe to take instead of a death trap before putting this in place. You don’t know what’s going to happen to you once you go down into the train system you may be another victim on the news. Remember the MTA is always short of money…no matter what
how does a city have money for migrants and welcome them here with all the free money but cant provide a budget to fix the transit. why does a person who drives to work have to pay for mta repairs. mta should charge more for their services to add mta complain about fair jumpers but allow their workers to ride free. this city is no longer a city a working person can survive time to make an exit strategy. this city is using its population as a cash cow.
Why aren’t yall talking about the putting more of those toll readers uptown on northbound streets including 1st ave and 125th street? If this was just about fixing traffic downtown you wouldn’t be putting tolls on all the non toll routes people use in the city. 59th street bridge, Willis ave bridge 3rd ave bridge. It’s not about the environment or traffic MTA is taking one out of the city’s handbook and generating revenue from fake problems. This the reason everyone is just leaving the state

Ask them if they like it, and I’m all of them will say they like it. Of course most of the car drivers aren’t going to like congestion pricing because now they can’t drive for free anymore, but the people who take subway definitely will like it because it will bring more revenue to the subway that will bring major upgrades to the subway that make been made decades ago and it will help prevent pollution from continuing in the city
@ shut up with your conspiracies Joe Rogan. And if you try saying to me “Oh the MTA has money mismanagement” that’s not true at all. The only reason the MTA goes so over budget on their projects is because NIMBYS force the MTA to do unnecessary studies that are absolutely not needed and the only reason that the MTA has such a high budget is because they are still to this day are still recovering from the neglect that the subway received in the 70s and 80s
@ you wanna know how they can get to the city? Oh yes, by taking the train. And don’t try to say “Oh what if they don’t live near a train” well guess what, there is something called driving to the train station, and it’s really easy. You get into your car, start your engine, map the nearest train station, start driving, drive to that train station, park your car at the train station, wait for the train, get on the train, and get off the train in Manhattan it’s that simple

This will be like the parking fees the casino's in Las Vegas started way back in 2016. Started out at $10 an hour and now it's up to $30 an hour at some casino's. So $9 now, $19 in a few years.
NY is #3 in people leaving the state. IF anything, traffic is probably getting less on that alone. This toll is just to replace the money lost from the people leaving every year, and its going to make even more people leave. then they'll need to raise the prices of the toll and train/bus fare, which will make even more people leave its a death spiral I think in the end.
Nxt yr looking bad for the city as well. another yr stuck with the awful DA n council, things getting more expensive, n high crime, the Nxt chance for hope is 2026. Trump alone is not enough to fix this, u need much more than that

Unbelievable they created all this congestion what does stupid bicycle Lanes taken away Lanes of traffic the whole Vision zero nonsense and now they want to charge people will the MTA buses pay this toll
If you take the tunnels on the Jersey side, which is much higher then the ones on LI so its more of a tax on us Jersey folks, paying $16 and then paying $6 or something
I have a wacky idea. It's going to sound crazy, but bear with me. If the MTA really needs that money, maybe they could actually enforce fare evasion laws, instead of trying to tax everyone who isn't using public transportation. They lost $700M to this last year and don't even try to stop anyone from jumping the turnstiles or climbing in the bus' back doors anymore.

By next year, they will increase the pricing by 50%, and will enforce it on the ENTIRE Manhattan and probably to the other boroughs! As MTA already has been caught with other cameras set up west of 59th street! And we know most of the monies will not go back into MTA improvements.

If you want to get Chinese food and you want to drive, you aren’t driving into Manhattan and getting stuck on traffic when you can just find somewhere with Chinese food without getting stuck in traffic
Anyone driving their car in lower or Midtown Manhattan instead of taking any form of mass transit can afford this, it likely would cost substantially more for a parking space than what the congestion pricing costs anyway. This is a good thing that will increase transit funding and decrease driving in a place that doesn’t have the space for it.
