This clown of a governor needs to resign.

[@damnjustassignmeone]

Completely agree. She’s terrible.

[@shaalexis4221]

Paused until the day after Election day 😂

[@samueltorres521]

Democrats tricks you know they need votes

[@LawandOrder-fi5xk]

She's pausing it until after the election. Vote Biden and these democrats out of office.

[@riymudirfr]

You’re delusional if you think the MTA is going to properly use the funds that they would’ve gotten from congestion pricing towards improving the subway

[@ryandarko2115]

Go to 103rd in corona queens and wait for the 7 train the platform shakes as if it’s going to collapse any second. Yeah I’m sure the mta could care less properly funded efficiency

[@MouthBreather_]

Agree--we should end all taxes since non of them are properly used in this country. Actually, even if the funds don't get properly used I still want congestion pricing--reduce the number of pollution-mobiles in my city pl0x

[@derektimoney5378]

Must be Election season. Once that's over, we all get scr ewed

[@hector3201]

It’s political she should just say that lmao trump 2024 lets goo

[@SpartacusColo]

Another way they can raise money is to have transit officers rob the riders of any loose cash they have.

[@sdave10111]

Y'all spent more on them illegals....use that money!

[@reneek1672]

Female host looks like she shops at forever 21.

[@andrewordog4397]

If a business can't afford to operate, they should go out of business. And should not be bailed out by using taxpayers money.

[@edmundmingyipkwong5705]

Okay, I know how to vote this Nov. Thank you Governor Hochul.

[@derektimoney5378]

Wake up New York.

[@damnjustassignmeone]

When you’re late for work bc of subway issues, remember the governor.

[@samueltorres521]

😂😂😂😂

[@samueltorres521]

Almost everyone voted for her stop complaining

[@samueltorres521]

MTA will always be screwed because they always have had stupid ideas over decades thats why you have subway stations looking all gross

[@Atrail_Mckinley4786]

Congestion pricing wouldn't have made the system better when they constantly overspend on projects.

[@damnjustassignmeone]

@@samueltorres521 NYC has 472 stations and one of the oldest subway systems in the world. It’s tough to make it look pristine. Anyhow, that’s not the priority for most New Yorkers. We just want trains to come on time.

[@RONNIEJNZN]

Before any thought of enforcement there should have been a better, safer alternative to driving and it's not the current NYC subay/MTA. Not even close.

[@JP-sw5ho]

People from New Jersey definitely eat in New York City, but where does New York City have diners in the congestion zone?

[@Atrail_Mckinley4786]

Times Square, SOHO, East Village etc There are many diners in Manhattan.

[@MrJ-dc3yz]

Does governor Hochul know what money is? It don't fall out the sky. How is she paying for MTA?

[@O___00]

$5 Single Ride Subway pricing coming in 2025.
