The scheme has faced resistance, including from President-elect Donald Trump.

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.

      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
