And yet you people still can't understand why people get upset about things like congestion pricing.

"How can anyone possibly not want the MTA to take more of their money to piss away frivolously with zero accountability???"

Right. The MTA already has been siphoning money from exorbitant Bridge and Tunnel tolls for decades, and yet they have nothing to show for it.

Well I want congestion pricing to be so high that it keeps the single occupancy vehicles from the suburbs from clogging up the city grid

Even if the money gets thrown out, congestion pricing means that drivers suffer as much for their being on the road as everyone else does. So long as drivers stay insulated while everyone else receives their poison, noise, and occasional grievous bodily injury, they'll just keep driving whether they need to or not.

What makes you think drivers don’t suffer as much as everyone else?
