You already pay a fee for driving into Manhattan on most bridges and tunnels. It’s called a toll.
You also pay a whopping tax if you put your car in a parking garage. If you leave it on the street and get towed, you pay a huge fine to redeem your car.
If you drive into Manhattan for the purpose of working, you pay a whopping state income tax.
And if you drive into Manhattan and stay at a hotel, you pay a whopping hotel tax.
Altogether, It’s a wonder anybody bothers to drive into Manhattan.
True enough.But those tolls are meant to pay the hacks...sorry..."public servants" who "maintain" the bridges and tunnels.An additional toll must be instituted to pay all the other,ummmm,public servants.

I don’t, haven’t driven there in 20 years. Don’t care to. Take the train into the city and ride the subway.
My son drove in NYC a couple of years ago coming from the south to see a Yanks/Red Sox game. He took the tunnel from New Jersey, drove through Manhattan to the Bronx. It was his first time in he Big Apple, and gosh from his pix and descriptions you’d think he passed though Oz.
