But they are suffering from people dodging the toll. https://nypost.com/2025/01/11/us-news/nyc-congestion-pricing-turns-upper-manhattan-nabes-into-parking-war-zone-as-drivers-take-up-spots-to-avoid-toll/ Commuters coming into the city are being charged and the fee only affects the poor commuters. A ban on cars in parts of the city would fix the problem better without being discriminatory against poor.

minus-square@Blue_MorpholinkEnglish1•3 days agoAGAIN, This has nothing to do with those in NYC. It is about commuters into the city. Would you be happier if I classified people into poor, middle class, and rich instead of rich and poor? Ok. This toll forces the middle class to commute with the poor so the rich have the streets to themselves.
