Summary
New York City has become the first U.S. city to implement a congestion charge, with car drivers paying up to $9 daily to enter areas south of Central Park.
The scheme aims to reduce traffic and fund public transport but has faced opposition, including from Donald Trump, who has vowed to overturn it.
Fees vary by vehicle type, with trucks and buses paying higher rates.
Despite legal challenges, the initiative moves forward as New York remains the world’s most congested urban area, with peak traffic speeds averaging just 11 mph.
NYC has great transit. Are you from Staten Island or what?
Both are true. Manhattan has great transit. But NYC is big. https://www.nyctransitforums.com/topic/31326-which-outer-borough-has-the-best-coverage/
You’re the one who doesn’t sound like a NYer
Isn’t Manhattan where the congestion charge applies…?
I am a NYer
Great comeback 👏
I dont do insults. I was stating a fact.
I was mainly pointing out that many regions in the outer nyc don’t have good transit options. That’s fact, which you did not acknowledge. I don’t care if you’re in NY or not, stop moving tjr goalposts and acknowledge you are dead wrong about transit
