Your company was reimbursing you for two $7 midtown tunnel tolls every day ($14/day), and providing you free on-site parking, but $9 for congestion pricing is too much?
They’re public roads. I already helped build them, and maintain them. It’s not about cost. It’s about NYC putting out their hand and saying “you need to help pay for this” and “you need to help maintain this” because it’s public infrastructure then having the balls to say “okay, now that you helped us build it and maintain it, now you gotta pay to use it.”
That’s not how public infrastructure works. Either it’s public, and it’s everyone’s responsibility and privilege to use, or its not.

public spending has nothing to do with being able to use it, especially for free.
you’re not getting free corn, nor free medicine, even tho both are heavily publically funded.
Fact is, the Manhattan metro area can’t support the amount of people commuting via care as there were.
