#congestionpricing #london #nyc
They have sparkling subways, we have pissed filled subways with a man running around setting people on fire
They also use much more tax dollars for their subway and you all claim the mta has too much money. So which is it?
taking the subway is safer than driving.
They really don't. I was there on vacation last month, and saw a bunch of homeless camped out in the first tube station I entered.
@@EternalVids looks like rheu canceled congestion pricing
they also pay a lot more than we do
We learned that it is just another tax and that New York has the dirtiest subway in the world.
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!
More taxes without improvement, that's the difference of the NY way vs every other modern city.
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.
Thank you for pumping the brakes Hochul!!!
F Congestion Pricing!
Money grab by the MTA money pit
NYC is not a London. It’s ridicules.
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.
They just scrapped it anyway, lol 😂
Til after the elections
@@mikolowiskamikolowiska4993 Not if Trump gets elected.
Charging for their incompetence of managing the traffic, what a joke😂
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Once it is commissioned, it's never repealed because the city quickly comes to rely on the extra revenue that it generates.
@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
@@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.
@LazyDaisyDay88 Fare evasion costs the MTA $700 million a year
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 also don't state that you have to also pay a toll entering from nj
There should be discount for electric vehicles
If traffic return, up the price...
"It's about changing behavior." THAT SAYS IT ALL! How many are sick of our public officials trying to treat us like children? They work for us---not the other way around.
There’s so much context left out of this video, they went straight for the Tory POV.
ChRge should be proportional to the driver's income, otherwise the poors will suffer more.
there are income discounts
Urban planners want it, Londonders' dont
Misinformation reporting.
Stop taxing us.
..So WTF is congestion pricing?? Poor communication skill !
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.
Whats next?????? Congestion walking???? Then what??? Congestion working????? Let's not forget congestion bathroom usage or congestion sleeping.
Motor vehicles are the problem, therefore they are the ones being targeted. Walking, working, defecating, and sleeping don't take up street space like an unnecessary 90sq ft steel box on wheels.
@KeLena_DuGrant They are not the problem. The MTA don't handle the money they already get properly by overspending on projects. They are not fiscally responsible, and yet they still cry broke.
@@KeLena_DuGranthe’s an idiot don’t respond
Screw public transportation. I will never give up driving as an American.
You don’t have to but we will take our roads back to make sure the people who do use public transportation to get to work on time
@@dubreil07 Keep dreaming, that will never happen.
@@dubreil07Without cars, the us economy would be affected. Cars contribute over 2 trillion to the economy. If you want peace and quiet, live in the suburbs or rural america.
So no congestion pricing
Stop trying to make this horrible idea a thing
The reason why we forgot in the Revolutionary War. Was to stop getting taxed by the king in London. Why are we taking tax tips from them?
Congestion Grape is what it is. All by design.
We will soon have a fart TAX
Ripping you off, made to sound as if it were just a part of life.
New York don't need congestion pricing. We not in London with congestion pricing. Let all drivers go for free in new york city. Governor Hochul need to get out the power.
NYC traffic was never as bad as London
I've lived and worked in both cities - I'd say they are very similar.
Fake news
They have shitty narrow streets it makes sense there
NEW YORK IS BROKE VOTE THEM ALL OUT
