there are only three free ways to get into Manhattan by car, and they would put tolls there if it weren't for the traffic nightmare it would create.

Not with an EZ Tag system. I think the Brithish are considering implementing a more intrusive and controversial toll system in all cars containing a GPS receiver to record distance time of day and location of all travel.

not everyone has ezpass, you would still need cash toll booths on the 59th st, manhattan and brooklyn bridges.

they don't toll them because they know that it would devastate businesses who rely on people coming in from the suburbs for dining, shows, etc. many would simply just stop coming if they had to pay additional tolls.
