Maybe they plan to use Mustard Gas instead
Bribe check didn’t clear.
And the state of New Jersey is absolutely retarded for suing to stop it. They should be encouraging New York to charge a $12,000 fee instead of $12.
Must be an election year
“And midtown Manhattan hasn’t recovered to the point where this would be the right time for congestion pricing.”
apparently a “congestion” surcharge isn’t a great idea when the city collapse already took care of the congestion ...
Businesses looking at New York will still plan on congrestion pricing in the near future.

Indefinitely she says, but that doesn't mean it won't happen. It just means she is waiting for a more opportune time. Like after the election.

NYC and London both have very effective subways and metros for the masses to ride. It’s taken me three hours to get from LaGuardia to Soho at an average speed of 5mph and less than 8 mpg in a rented compact sedan. The only reason I had that car was the next day we were leaving Manhattan for Boston then Maine. It cost $75 per parking spot per night with no in and out to keep that car for two days while eating for the wife to get to LaGuardia.and spend the night in Manhattan. So this would be welcome to those who can afford it in Manhattan. Just like Central Londoners.
