Head of Transport Workers Union criticizes NYC congestion pricing plan

The MTA's controversial congestion pricing plan now has a new and important foe -- the head of the MTA's largest union, who says that broken promises about service enhancements will hurt the working class. CBS New York political reporter Marcia Kramer has the story.

I had to wait 11 minutes today for the next Bronx-bound 6 train at 86th St… during the afternoon rush hour. That lady is flat out lying. 🤥

[@cliffpadilla5871]

I waited a half hour for the B82 bus.

[@AlgonquinRider810]

They don't have enough train operators or conductors to run full service. They're short.

[@shreddersaurusrex323]

That’s not terrible

[@LawandOrder-fi5xk]

The MTA have too many lazy overpaid workers where one person work while ten others stand around doing nothing.

[@GeneralHawk505]

And the one usually working is someone who enjoys the old school way of making a living and or is a new guy on probation being taken advantage of. I worked there, i went through that shithole.

See if the MTA Chairman paying the toll ?

[@GeneralHawk505]

Not even their own workers get away from it. They want to become a monopoly conglomerate that is entirely in control of NYC.

The mta will never keep their promises to nyc. Never have, never wiil. This will be the death knell for mid town. Why would anyone come here?

[@JuanCruz-et8so]

We need some sort of congestion pricing. We need to control the amount of unnecessary vehicles in roads that just have no business to be around at certain times.

[@Atrail_Mckinley4786]

No we don't. This will make traffic and pollution worse in the outer boroughs. This isn't an equitable plan.

[@SoftlinkStudio]

MTA actions are hurting the MTA; oh, the irony.

The BX39 bus needs full service on the overnights from wakefield to clason point. And overall there needs to be more busses on the overnight bus routes in nyc

Pay for this...pay for that... typical nyc politics.
