    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.

        The lower traffic numbers are the data. That’s what the screen shot shows. None of the bridges or tunnels are backed up.
