As a NYer whoâ(TM)s spent time in London: NYC has a *substantially* bigger public transit system than London does, FWIW, you dont need a car to get around most of the city
That said this is going to penalize large chunks of folks in Brooklyn, Queens, and on Long Island when they need to drive out of the city, either directly via the toll or indirectly by shifting congestion north onto roads that cant really handle more either, so thereâ(TM)s that
My feeling is overall it probably will help things, especially if the city really does direct the revenue to subway and bus improvements, but itâ(TM)s going to suck for me personally. I can live with that if it does work, Iâ(TM)ll be pissed if itâ(TM)s just double suckage. Only time will tell
