If only we could keep the poors from driving nationwide
https://www.fastcompany.com/91272434...estion-pricingNew Yorkers are already seeing an impact one month in. Along with fewer drivers in general, the vehicles that still travel through the area are dealing with less traffic. Those crossing through the Holland Tunnel see the most time savings, with average trip times down 48% during peak morning hours. The Williamsburg and Queensboro Bridges are both seeing an average of 30% faster travel times. During afternoon peak hours, drivers in the entire zone are seeing travel times drop up to 59%.
More commuters are opting for buses to cross Manhattan, and those buses are now traveling more quickly, too. Weekday bus ridership has grown 6%, while weekend ridership is up 21%, compared to January 2024. (Subway ridership has also grown by 7.3% on weekdays and 12% on weekends, part of a larger trend in ridership growth happening since the fall, per the MTA. Anecdotally, some subway riders have said they’ve seen more packed trains on their morning commutes.) Buses entering Manhattan from Queens, Staten Island, and the Bronx are saving up to 10 minutes on their route times, which also makes their arrivals more reliable.
This data comes from the MTA, which released figures at the end of January. A full one-month update won’t be available until the next MTA board meeting at the end of February; the MTA didn’t yet release any information on the amount of money the program has raised or any air quality impacts.

Who is the king?
Charles III, is the King of England. As for the United States, we don't have one.
Why would he talk about Charles III in this tweet?
Explain.
Chump. He's trolling the Left, you moron.
Trolling them how?
The White House put this out...
ing hilarious.
Saved from whom?
The State of New York's attempt to tax the poor so the wealthy could have the streets of New York City to themselves.
They were taxing everyone coming in.
concern for taxing the poor
Yeah, I know. They were taxing those who could afford it (the wealthy) and those who couldn't (the poor).
Again, your comprehension skills. Grab another Twinkie, you may need sugar.
Don't they already have to pay to cross the bridges and tunnels?
Possibly, I don't live there. But, adding another $9.00 to every trip was going to be pretty burdensome for delivery drivers, taxis, etc... New York wanted it to be $15.00 at first but, after a public outcry, they lowered it to $9.00 and claimed they were saving New Yorkers $6.00. Trump just saved them the whole enchilada.
Trump, you moron, you.
Olay!!!
So what's your solution for congestion there?
Let the motorists work it out. Many people already take public transportation because it's too congested. Many are willing to fight the traffic instead of getting thrown in front of subway trains.
Congestion should ease a bit. Since 2019, approximately 160 business, taking thousands of employees and approximately $1 Trillion in assets, have left New York for less Blue pastures. At this rate, there won't be a reason for anyone to drive in Manhattan.
