@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.

Congestion pricing opponents have gone from saying that it won't make a difference to arguing that less traffic is actually bad bc its less business for retail. Do they understand how New York City works?

@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.

@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…

@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.
