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.
You live in literally the best transit area in the entire nation. One of the best in the world.
Take Transit. You are lucky enough to be in one of the areas where you aren’t forced to drive. You are incredibly privileged to live there, and are able to take transit to pretty much wherever you like.
Plus it’s lower Manhattan. You said you live inside the congestion zone, which means lets be real, this is a drop in the bucket compared to actually driving there. Just your car you probably pay for storage, some of the highest gas in the country, and the highest insurance in the country, and you’re still complaining that there’s a slight tax now because you are choosing not to take the incredibly convenient, regular, and world renown subway system?
I believe OP is talking about NYC’s Congestion Pricing.
Yeah, I live inside the congestion pricing zone.
And you have a car?? In Manhattan??? Are you made of money?
No, just made of privilege
Right?! I know several people in Manhattan (who are pretty well off tbh), and even they don’t own a car. Why would you in Manhattan?!? How privileged does this person have to be? People are unable to afford groceries right now and they’re complaining that they might have to pay a few bucks because they don’t want to take a train
Those people who can’t afford groceries shouldn’t be complaining either. After all, they’re not literally starving and there are starving children in Africa…
