@kidjava @ShabazzStuart Bill has official stats everyone, sure buddy. I believe you. At any rate I’d rather pay 75 cents then 9 dollars. Maybe I’ll buy a scooter so I don’t pay anything. Actually great idea Bill, thank you for pushing me further, a scooter is a fantastic idea.

@epictruthwins @ShabazzStuart Interesting…the nearest formerly free bridges show a drop in traffic, but not the Midtown Tunnel. Maybe people used to paying the toll are less price-sensitive?

@CPTNZacSparrow @ShabazzStuart I live in the congestion relief zone near the Williamsburg Bridge, and have a car. Congestion pricing has been a godsend in cutting back on traffic, reducing horn honking, and reducing bad driving behavior by people frustrated by the traffic.

@fior_jennifer @SilverFoxReturn @jesskcoleman I am 71 living in the congestion relief zone. The elderly need better bus service and accessible subways. The CP fee funds those.
The elderly who take cabs will pay only an additional 75 cents per ride in the CRZ.

@SilverFoxReturn @jesskcoleman Track elderly ppl who need cabs to a doctor appt & now can’t afford? Person murdered going home at nite on the 🚊bc it’s unsafe & they can’t afford. There’s no cap on Uber to lessen traffic bc Uber lobbied & is exempt! 🤔

@AndySwan The “second order effects” you allude to are based on merchants’ fears, but repeatedly research shows that merchants overestimate the car users in their customer base and do better with pedestrianization . vox.com/future-perfect…

@DanaDayMorgan @MarkLevineNYC The 6,700 number is the number of drivers specifically going into the CBD.

@Grimblepinch @AdamBronkhorst In terms of marathons, you need robust mass transit to get runners to the starting line and from the finish line. You do not want 40000 cars clogging up the bucolic byways of the countryside.
