    Staten Islanders, who still don’t have direct rail access to the other boroughs, already pay good $$ to drive into Manhattan.

    This is crazy! We already pay an arm and leg for all the tolls. When the Verrazano was built, It was said the tolls would stop and look at the price now. It's insane. Where is the money going?????

      it's going to the mta board's 'overtime' pay. once people stopped paying for the bus and subway, they needed to find a new way to steal money.

    funny cause express buses cost seven dollars. People in Staten Island are just still gonna drive. I can see why they're opposed to it. I don't support it in general, I'd like to see a full audit of MTA actually using the money they already received for stuff that actually benefits to MTA and not a ski resort in upstate.

    Free means Free. Get rid of Congestion Pricing. Get rid of Kathy Hochul. Lot needs money to pay for all fuel costs in new york city. Thanks from Republican make it go free in new york city. Think about Downtown Chicago everyone drive for free. I'm from Illinois i think about wisconsin they have no tollway on the highway you can get on the highway for free.

      @colbzyk2128 Free means Free in new york city not congestion pricing. Thank from Republican make it go free in new york city. Kathy Hochul is Fallon. Get rid of Kathy Hochul. I'm from Illinois. think about Downtown Chicago everyone drive for free. Who cares about the money in new york city. Jb pritzker is Fallon. Gavin Newsom is Fallon. Joe Biden is Fallon about high fuel prices on 2022. I'm republican I didn't go to college I was special education student. Think about a wisconsin they have no tollway on the highway everyone drive for free on the highway. Remember Free means Free in new york city new york is no pay on Congestion Pricing. Lot people need a money to pay for all fuel costs in new york city.

    • @louisjohnson3755
      @louisjohnson3755 10 дней назад +2

      Good, parkways should be for bikes and pedestrians, not cars. It’s called a parkway, because they are for parks, greenery, so this should mean they should be for pedestrians and cyclists, rather than prioritizing cars.

    NYC MTA can’t go after rider cheaters so they go after the easy target. It’s never about congestion it’s about the short fall. We normal people have to pay for those who didn’t. Same for retail theft we normal people are paying for the extra security and the theft of those who broke the law. Never mind the illegal immigrant.

    Manhattan traffic is way too crowded. I live in one of the 5 boroughs and commute 90-120 minutes on public transit (each way) to work in upper Manhattan 5 days/week. I know this is my choice… but we all need to suck it up. Where is the environmental impact study for the amount of pollution that’s already in the city because everyone and their mama wants to drive in….

    • @Atrail_Mckinley4786
      @Atrail_Mckinley4786 10 дней назад +1

      With congestion pricing, it will increase traffic in Staten Island and other parts of the metro area. Why should a minority of NYC residents get less traffic but more NYC residents who don't live in the CBD be subjected to worse traffic.
      The MTA gets 19 billion a year, yet they are not a fiscally responsible transit agency. It should not cost $100 million to build elevators. Grand Central Madison shouldn't have been$ 7 billion overbudget

    Blame the drivers trying to avoid congestion pricing, rather than congestion pricing itself. Like let’s be real here. Is it really worth it to drive an extra hour or 2 just to avoid paying 9 dollars. I would say no. It’s not like I would walk 10 miles rather than paying 2.50 to take a bus or a couple dollars on gas.
