    Can you show the data? Because I find it extremely hard to believe multimillionaires would take the bus instead of being driven into the city in their limo.

      The data this whole thread is about.

      And you’re making assumptions about what “rich” means.
      People only making half a million are rich. They still drive their own car. Those are most of the personal vehicles being driven in Manhattan.
      The people you’re thinking of, are the wealthy. There are only a few hundred of those people in the city, they aren’t a major driver of traffic anyway, so nobody cares about them.

        Is there any data that shows people making $500k a year are deterred by a $9 fee?

        Going to work 5 days a week, 50 weeks a year is $2,250. The average garage price is $15 a day.
