Long Island is about 120 miles long. The rates vary depending on where in Long Island you come from; also, commuters typically get monthly passes. The most expensive being $468 per month. I'm not sure it would be cheaper to pay the $9 because you also pay a toll to enter Manhattan from Long Island/Queens, unless routing very much out of the way for one of the "free" bridges. A lot of businesses cover parking or at least subsidizes for their employees, but that varies as well.

[@TechJolt3d]

The subway is 2.90 now and going to be 3 later. 3.25 is for single ride tickets i'm pretty sure, but you can just use a metrocard/omny card/credit card/phone with nfc. You are not parking in manhattan as a regular commuter for free, you are probably getting some sort of parking. You also have to add in added maintenance cost to your vehicle, and account for the time you lose in traffic. If you think the 9 dollars is worth, then pay it and you'll have less traffic for yourself. Its an incentive like a sin tax is.
