According to NPR the other day, apparently NJ’s (Democrat) Governor Murphy is against it. I’m not exactly sure why (I missed that part). It may have had something to do with revenue sharing, and NJ taking in much less than they did before?
I don’t know and not sure if I care enough to look into it… But yeah, apparently not just Republicans.
Not 100% sure but I figured it was because so many people live in NJ and commute to NYC every morning, so this new congestion charge might get people to leave NJ for somewhere with better train/transit options
Maybe? I don’t know if $9 fee (or just a switch to public transport) is enough for someone who works in Manhattan to move, but I guess it’s possible.
I think it might have something to do with the revenue sharing of all of the alternate means of crossing the river, with NYC’s MTA getting the bulk of it? Again, could be wrong.
