      They also use much more tax dollars for their subway and you all claim the mta has too much money. So which is it?

    The traffic lights in London only stay green for
    seven seconds & red for one minute, to catch frustrated drivers unknowingly going through
    a 'red light camera' & getting a huge fine!

    As the man said at 1:19 it is just another tax. It will be another tax for NYC residents to make up the property tax NYC lost after COVID and to make up the cost of housing Illegal Immigrants. It will not improve transit at all. Politicians always lie selling it will go to one area and then use it for another program. In places like London there are restrictions on what the money can be used for not here.

    If you think for one second that congestion tax is going to improve the MTA, I have a bridge to sell you. What is really going on here is nyc figured out a way to turn almost every bridge into a toll road.

    Here is a major difference between Manhattan and London. Manhattan is an island with delivery trucks stopping wherever they want.
    There is no where to go. Conjestion will always be an issue. This is just a cash grab.

    So basically, congestion pricing was a failure in London. It didn't reduce traffic in all of London, and it got worse outside the zone. This is exactly what will happen in New York City. I hope the lawsuits get rid of congestion pricing

      Once it is commissioned, it's never repealed because the city quickly comes to rely on the extra revenue that it generates.

    • @Atrail_Mckinley4786
      @Atrail_Mckinley4786 Месяц назад +1

      @LazyDaisyDay88 If the MTA wants to get extra money, they should crack down on fare evasion, especially on buses. People don't pay the fare on buses and yet the MTA does nothing about it

    • @LazyDaisyDay88
      @LazyDaisyDay88 Месяц назад +1

      @@Atrail_Mckinley4786 Interesting point McKinley. So from what I can see, fare dodging on the MTA is currently estimated to be worth around $285m per annum. The London congestion charge revenues for 2021 were just short of $300m. Not sure about the expected annual revenue from NYC's new congestion charge, but I suspect you have a reasonably strong case. Having said that, I'm sure the MTA would like to cut fare dodging AND implement congestion charging. Good luck to NYC! Anyone who uses public transport OR drives in the city is getting screwed whatever happens.

    If NYC wants to be like London, they’ll have to improve the subway system which I believe is one of the worst in the world. Believe me when I said congestion pricing will not fix the transportation, it will make their executive richer.

    They should of just done like my home country, if your plate ends in an even number then you can only drive into the city on Mondays and Wednesdays, if your plate ends in an odd number then you can only drive into the city Tuesdays and Thursdays. Fridays anyone can drive into the city but must pay a toll of around $15. Weekends anyone can drive in free.
