    Re NYC Tolls. We've had tolls (London Congestion Charge) in London for 20 years- it has not made a jot bit of difference to congestion. And now they have added another congestion toll (Ulez Charge), so we have 2x charges if we want to motor into London, both are now 24/7. They gave us the same BS reasons it needed doing. None of the money went into improving public transport, just rich shareholders pockets.

    NYC is getting congestion charging. Basically, it makes it harder for the low paid to drive into the city, but will make absolutely no difference to the well off.
    For practical reasons, there are many low paid workers and families who need to drive into NYC and they will be even more broke because of this.
    Number plate based systems would be fairer.

      The man who helped broker the deal for Donald Trump's first Scottish golf resort says the country was "hoodwinked" by the ex-president's claim it would be a £1bn project.
      Neil Hobday was the project director for Mr Trump's controversial course in Aberdeenshire, which opened in 2012.

      @we_create1 Před měsícem +1

      1) If you’re talking about millionaires, then yeah, they won’t care about the fee whether $15, $150, or maybe even $300. Billionaires probably spend even more on their cars, but there are a *lot* more non-millionaires in nyc who wouldn’t want to pay your $150 ($37,000/yr by workdays) and still some who won’t want to pay the $15.
      2) The system of funding infrastructure by registration fees, gas taxes, and sales tax, already disproportionately affects low-income drivers. The program nyc is implementing specifically offers discounts to low-income drivers (about 25% discount on average for daily commuters), so it is already better than the current system (where transit riders subsidize the drivers) in funding for infrastructure for income-equity. The program will also be using its revenue to improve the transit system (the funds will be used for capital improvements and not to cover operating costs), which low-income people are more likely to benefit from.
      3) Improving public transit is very much a goal of the program. Also wdym by “road vehicle quota”? MTA has bus schedules for every bus line, is that not a quota?
      4) It’s estimated that the program will cause 17% fewer vehicles to enter the Central Business district and 9% fewer miles driven in there. It’s also expected to reduce congestion outside the area with less commutes (although not by much).
