We pay federal, state and local tax. Now if you pay this toll 5 days a week, thats a whole new tax approx 4k off ya salary. Fuck that shit, its time to leave nyc.
Time to leave indeed
don't let the door hit ya!
Left 3 years ago. They won’t stop it
Stay there, we dont want you destroying other cities.
@@F7dimsounds like you don’t own a car
We need an MTA audit
Every 6 months the MTA should be audited. They make too much money to keep being in the rears every year.
Still so much waste at MTA yet they are so powerful as a City/ State entity
Been saying that for years
MTA as a whole is Fraud. Those MTA CEO fat pigs and mayors and city officials wasted taxpayers money and pocketed them. Now MTA, want resident to pay for it. Enough is enough, peoples need to stand up against those idiot in MTA period.
Exactly
No one wants this besides the MTA. All for money!
The globalist are pushing this all over thank a lefttard today
I def want it.
You must not be working class and living within the zone then. @@rahenry00
I would want it if the mta was competent, but at this rate the revenue will probably go down the drain in something either useless or costing several times what it really should.
@@rahenry00As if it won't affect you, prices WILL go up for everyone. Not just people that happen to have cars.
New Jersey, New York, and Connecticut should go against these criminals
They need to come up with a different way. How am i being charged to drive in my own borough i live in.
Next tax: for breathing air
They will use any excuse for a money grab!
I want in on this lawsuit cause this is criminal, I've lived in this city my whole life and this is wrong.
They think people have an extra $300 a month to go to work . the MTA CEO and Chairman earns $350,000 a year and a housing bonus
NYC residents across all 5 boroughs should not be paying for this
I tried to warn them on Election Day
We gonna remove our plates or use fake registration plates. They won't get a dime out of it.
45% of all New York City residents own a car. That is in line with many livable cities in Europe and Asia, including Amsterdam and London. Car ownership is already a significant burden for lower income households. And they are the ones often stuck with the environmental impacts of noise, pollution, and lack of transportation when out of city residents drive through.
Theu should live somewhere else
@@Awesome_Aasim Why assume that out-of-city residents are wealthy? I'm from eastern Queens, where there are no subways. Commuting to the city for work from there can take up to 2 hours. As an NYC resident and taxpayer, I have the right to unrestricted travel. This is the USA - not Europe. We recognize government overreach when we see it.
NYC does not have as many "wealthy" people living in it or DRIVING in it for that matter that most people assume. The "wealthy" business owners/executives have already bought houses outside the city and work remote. Majority are the middle class struggling to get by with just their next paycheck, and even then it's becoming more unaffordable with all these fee squeezes left and right.
Mostly left.
not to mention how prices will go up for products since the delivery services will raise fees to cover the cost.
Yup, and see more and more restaurants go out of business or move to the outer boroughs
Big corporations don’t want to have restaurants in the city anymore
coming from someone who prefers to travel around Manhattan and Brooklyn/Queens area on a bike or on foot, congestion tolls are not there to benefit the ecosystem or the people who travel the areas. They exist to line Elitist pockets off of false ideologies and false/incomplete/inconsistent data.
As a MTA Bus Operator WHO WILL HAVE TO PAY MY EMPLOYER to drive below 59th street just like everyone else I fully agree with this. It’s an overreach and detriment on the quality of life in NYC, permanently.
That makes no sense mta is high
Really 😂😂😂
@@nathanmall7173Not true
@@nathanmall7173Not True bro
I Disagree with you @neiko9251 👎 Go take Mass Transit, or Ride a Bike 🚲 Below 59th Street CBD Congestion Pricing is a Good Thing For NYC To Reduce Traffic
Take them tolls out
You already know people will take some of them down somehow 😂
Sue the Gov and the Mayor too
Wait, so the guy reporting on congestion pricing name is Robert Moses? Lol
This congestion pricing is absolutely sickening. Such a rich city and they act like third class city from another world. These law makers should get sued over this ridiculous plan.
8 million people in nyc use the subway daily
That’s 3.25 one trip 6.50 two ways
8 million times 6.50 is 52 million a day.
52 million 365 days is 2 trillion a year
Where the hell is that money????????
And the MTA system is still trash with all that money. So 1 more billion will solve all issues? Yeah, 100%😂😂
Half of them dont pay
More like 19 billion/year
None of them bums pay. They are called fare beaters
And they are still going to say they are broke after year one
I remember taking 25 minutes from queens to Staten Island now is 1 hour or more
No amount of lawsuits can stop the politicians from grabbing this pot of gold. It's a done deal.
Honestly, i wasnt planning on paying the toll anyway if it were to go thru but its good to see more folks standing up against this.
How appropriate having Robert Moses report on transportation :P
lol he’s the best!
It takes alot of money to feed and house the poor hungry immigrants.
Born and raised in NYC, Queens > LES - I work for the city and can tell you that MTA is bound to fail, the useless executives won't retire and they're taking the biggest cut of the budget. Many of the MTA executives and city politicians has shares and/or invested in the company that installed latest useless "turnstile gate". This is a way for the Executives to pocket the MTA Budget.
But I also agree that it'll be nice if a certain group/culture of people stop fare evading. Just stand by the turnstile or buses by West 4th, 2nd ave, Delancey, East Broadway, Jay Street Metrotech, High Street, and just watch these "oppressed" ones pays their fare.
U just needed to find a reason to project your racism. Fare evasion has absolutely nothing to do with this yet u find any opportunity to being up "certain demographics". It sounds like u need to worry about a mental evaluation bc ur level of obsession isn't normal 🤡
Mostly everything that goes into the city comes from and through Jersey. Everything will be more expensive regardless if they don't cut that out.
This is so beautiful all the lawsuits. I hope this action kills congestion pricing. Take money from these bike lanes and idiotic street redesigns. Let's go, people, let's file more, even take to the streets in protest. It's a shame. We need better leadership in office, someone who has common sense. MTA, you want money take from the bike lanes we don't need them that's what parks are for not the street. Streets are for cars.
Drivers will be forced to pay for subway riders’ fares by not using the subway. Oxymoron. Makes no sense.
Power to New Yorkers!
There is alrdy MTA surcharges in corporation tax….. still not enough….. now this toll…….how much more they need to fill this sink hole….
as much as it takes until nyc stops trying to regulate and affect other states with laws and lawsuits
How much more money do they "need"? The answer is always "more".
More cities need to follow NYCs lead
Its designed too gentrify the city. Why charge us too drive in a city which we already pay taxes for. This is government over reach
Bingo ☑️
So $5000 avg rent in Manhattan is not gentrified price, noted 😂
@@onetwo-dr8hlits not...thats cheap
@@peekaboo3968 he's saying it's been too late maybe by 30 40 years
It's never enough!!! Where's all the cost savings for converting to electronic tolling? Ezpass doesn't require a paycheck or a pension does it?
Enough is enough. We are being taxed like crazy. I definitely don't want this congestion pricing garbage. I with it. Sue them, Sue the heck out of them, and prevent this crap from being put in New York. I have a friend who works in Washington Heights and lives right on 60th Street and 10th. The dam toll is on 60th Street, right where she has to turn. Imagine getting charged every time you go home or let's say she doesn't find parking and has to go around the block. Jesus.
You get what you voted for.
Nobody likes this congestion pricing. ITS Unfair! This is a disgrace to freedom, this is a disgrace to tax paying people. SMH pay to drive down a street already payed to drive down, double Dippin😢
MTA and City Council forgot that there are dozens of NYCHA developments south 60th St and that low income people lived in there.
They don't need cars tho
😢
@@idk-ol2it poor people aren’t allowed cars now?
@@Otter-Destruction nobody needs a car in downtown Manhattan unless your insanely important ai mayor president billionaire
A smokescreen over other issues in question 😅
Honestly we shouldn’t be paying for tows for traveling in our own state.
Price gouging
Congestion Pricing is more money for the politicians and less services for new yorkers
Mans name is Robert Moses .. irony
This is insane. Charging people to go outside. Just shameful.
Bravo. Mta is corrupted
I don’t live in New York City! The place is a massive RIP OFF!!!!!!
MTA have their own agenda.
At what point will New Yorkers stop voting “WOKE no matter what”?
When broke.
Lmfaoooooo I knew this sht was going to happen. I was going to submit a lawsuit as well. You can’t ask people to pay for the streets then turn around and charge us for what we paid for
They can, and they will. Pay up kid!
@@eh567 ummm no they can’t. People have already placed in multiple suits on this congestion fee. 🤣😂💀 they have to stop it until authorized by the courts. You need to learn your laws and stop accepting SHT just because. And you wonder why you get taken advantage of
@@TruCunt Stop. Listen. Do you hear that? It's the whisper of inevitability. You may cry, but you will pay.
@@eh567 oh shut up. I ain’t paying for SHT but bills. That congestion tolls isn’t going to get approved. If you read the laws you will know it is illegal
@@TruCunt That's a nice and comforting story. You can tell it again while you are paying your tolls.
Do not comply. Or just open your cheeks wider. It's entirely up to you, NYC....
Wow that’s amazing!
I was wondering when we'd file a lawsuit. Now they need to file a lawsuit for all the immigrants!!!
Well this is long over overdue and too late to sue to do an audit MTA 😕
Absolute money grab!
Cool! Robert Moses built the highways and byways of New York City!
As a working class New Yorker living within the zone, thank you!
In Colombia, they do something called Pico y placa. Basically depending on the last number of your plate, you can’t drive , but it’s for just a couple of hours.
New York isn't in Columbia. Tolling a public road is illegal. Period.
My plate says ASSMAN
If it’s a class action suit I’m onboard
I live in queens and really hope the pricing doesnt happen. I drive into manhattan sometimes for meals because I have allergies that manhattan accommodates to beautifully. This would mean less access to supporting small businesses!
Blame this on fare evasion!! Why not? Since the MTA makes the bulk of their revenue from Mass Advertising! 🎉
Absolutely. Fools asking for free rides on the bus and jumping turnstiles like zoo animals.
Everything will become more expensive because of this. Milk ,eggs . A taxi ride . We are not making enough for all these toll hikes ,high APR and high interest rates not to mention expensive rent .
Have fun paying for free migrant hotels too!
Many more lawsuits should follow until they stop even thinking about enforcing congestion pricing. All New Yorkers should unite and fight back peacefully against this great injustice. No New Yorker should pay fees to cross over to Manhattan. We shouldn't even pay anymore for other tolls around the city as well. We have paid enough and those bridges and tunnels have been paid off and repaid time and again.
if congestion pricing reduces congestion, it will fail to provide revenue for MTA. Maybe barely enough to pay for it's operation!
That’s why they are planning on increasing the fee for congestion pricing for 2025-26
Congestion got worse once bicycle lanes were made, not too many people use them, and, I'm pretty sure campaign contributions played a major role in the decision making.
go cry somewhere else
Im agree with you also when the driver blocked box make traffic worse and parking on the bus lanes…
Thank god
The fact the reporters name is Robert Moses lmao
2 psychos stabbed people in the subway system in separate incidents! Keep the lawsuits coming!
One reason I have a personal car. Privacy. I don't have random people sitting with me doing whatever.
Bruh Staten Island is part of the city we going to get double tolled and the rest of the boroughs about to get tolled for the first time for driving on underivable roads. F the MTA if they can’t succeed with a monopoly how tf they about to make up for all their decades long shortfalls with new tolls.
Good 👍🏿
Public highways don't belong to a Transportation Provider. They belong to the people. As such, the people deserve a vote as to any action that infringes on such rights.
LMAO highways arent a right. Lol
DINNING SHEDS are the congestion problem ! They are blocking traffic. Just walk down Mulberry Street . I counted 78 sheds in the bloody middle of the road. Follow the $$$ ?
How about a illegal immigrants congested tax on them. They are getting free room and insurance and money. Let them pay us back 🎉
Umm, I don't remember reading in history class that Mr. Alexander Hamilton upon mapping out the structure of the streets. That when the MTA was formed and running that all of a sudden they would be our new governmental system?Ie: (We ) dictate when you can enter, and leave our city. What a financial stick up for the middle-class, working-class, working-poor, lower-middle-class, elderly, our youth, disabled, veterans, and poor. Thanks Gov-ner you run this system too!
Do congestion road taxes even work, or are they just another bring in more tax revenue for cities, traffic is a way of life if you live in large cities, you know this going in and choose to live their
This is should be f-ing illegal
Aren't they trying to doom small businesses that's the plan right?
It’s unfair for people who lived in lower 59 st and NJ driver.
THE FINAL NAIL IN THE ⚰️
Good!
Look to London and the ULEZ Bladerunners for an answer to this problem...
So …….we pay alll these tacos and still can’t get free salsa 🤷🏾♂️
This is a Liberal tax on the working class!!
I'm surprised it took this long
It's unfortunate but all the rich people they want to tax left the city. Who else can pay this ? It's sad the city is going downhill
Let all drivers go for free.
D.O.T employees is sueing nd I t think the agency . 2:29 .
Do Harlemittes have to pay to come into midtown to loot? Isn't that racist?
Midtowners go to harlem to loot freely...its not racist, but u are
Its so true why should we pay moreeeeeee
Idk who approved this. Did they get the approval from us resident or from their city ppl? Cuz I sure didnt approve this
Im not agree with this but is not easy to drive in the city Im bus driver in the city and nobody respects bus lanes also bus stop if nobody’s use a bus lane and blocked the box maybe this never happened….
Just imagine how all those billions of federal funding could be used for new buses and trains and to help clean up the city.....
Is that guy really named Robert Moses?? 😅
Finally impeachment some privacy the corn 🌽 will continue I withstood the blows i stayed away long enough
Its go true no matter
This will help pay for the migrant credit cards
I wished they would increase the toll, get less cars on the streets
Lets go ny
Lol new yorkers choose this because they refuse to speak up. Imagine they cane together and destroyed all the "school zone" cameras
Another money grab
you can thank bloomberg for this idea. WE NEED REPUBLICAN LEADERSHIP
I'm saying the samething, we need to go red. We need some structure.
Bloomberg was a fake bush Cheney republican
They should do congestion pricing only on weekdays and not on the weekend.
they should double the price and give half to the federal government
None at all GTFOH. You must not be a native. Don’t speak for us.
They should not do it period
Exactly.
@@avanulaneway8418it's def needed.
I don't see an issue
U don't drive i guess 😅😅😅 this is out ur league my boi
Imagine receiving a bill in the mail just because you drove in these certain areas. Now imagine living there and having to commute to these areas.
