It’ll cost $9 each time. They’re raising money for the mass transit system by charging specifically those people who don’t use the mass transit system and that feels really unfair to me.

    I once knew someone who commuted into NYC each day by rail – drove to the train station, and went from there. Can move out of NYC and commute in, I suppose. Housing will probably be cheaper. Was a long commute.

    that feels really unfair to me.

    Well, I mean, the real limited resource that they’re charging for is gonna be the available road space, as they’re going to be trying to reduce traffic load, I expect, as the road network is just overloaded. I don’t know if there’d be a realistic alternative to provide much more road space in Manhattan with the funds. Like, where would you put it? They’d have to bulldoze tall buildings or something.

      People without sense want to get rid of central park, and turn all the subway lines into underground roadways.
