Jersey City mayor proposes reverse congestion pricing plan

[@AnythingJW]

who commutes into Jersey during rush hour? it's always out from NJ to NY

[@jumpman366]

You a lil slow aint ya?

[@chishek7482]

We looking into $4 to $6 a soda. Trucker

[@dubreil07]

@@jumpman366no you are the slow one

[@KKR8989-ABC]

Please do. They can charge their own people going back home after working in Manhattan. I'm all for it, since New Yorkers don't go to NJ. 😅

[@Byrdo_]

In the video, they mention that it would be easy to exclude NJ residents from paying the extra fees. Not whatever you're talking about.

[@Docpeetee]

@@Byrdo_you’re wild to think they wouldn’t tax Jersey people lol and also who the fck is going to Jersey?

[@homeyoutubechannel6609]

It is actually beautiful to see no traffic 😬 and when u have to drive, it feels a lot better not to be stuck in traffic

[@BK_2016sr5]

maybe you should live in the suburbs

[@durece100]

No noise, no air pollution, low car accidents.

I drove in to lower manhattan near the manhattan bridge and was very surprised at how empty it was during the late rush hour in chinatown

[@peterrex8191]

I love the way NJ politicians act so angry at congestion pricing…while at the same time ..New Jersey announces fair increases on buses and train service and tolls…democrats just fighting over who gets to grab and waste your money…please remember that.

[@TheJokeKiller]

Fair argument that New Jersey transit should get some of the cash from congestion pricing to fix up their own metro system.

[@HorsemanExtreme]

New Jersey should charge ONLY the NYers when they arrive to the state.

[@TheJokeKiller]

@HorsemanExtreme Great idea. Then New York should only charge those from New Jersey to enter the congestion area. Agreed?

[@elizabethdavis1696]

Yes some of the money should go to improving the trains that take commuters back and forth between New Jersey and New York City maybe elevate that tracks so it’s grade separated and can go faster

[@f-86zoomer37]

New Jersey transit should be abolished. Widen the freeways. fix all the roads. Their trains run slow and are always delayed. And they're full of crime and homeless

[@louisjohnson3755]

Maybe New York would give some of that congestion pricing money to NJ Transit if New Jersey didnt waste billions on widening the turnpike when that will just do nothing but make traffic worse. NY would’ve given them some of the money if they actually spent money on their transit system

[@flipsolo]

If it means improving NJ Transit, I'm all for it. Definitely better than Gov. Murphy, and Reps Gottheimer and Menendez who have done ZERO in trying to improve NJ Transit.

[@f-86zoomer37]

NJ Transit is the money laundering operation for democrats. abolish it

[@adventuresconjuan]

The difference is not everybody likes going to New Jersey. They only go if they have to.

[@jumpman366]

You could say the same for NY dude… are we acting like its some great place to be?

[@adventuresconjuan]

@ it’s the great city in the world and the nations top financial institutions reside there and the world is impacted by the economic stability of the city.. soooo

[@jumpman366]

@@adventuresconjuan Again what does that have to do with the living experience? You’re mentioning something you don’t even touch yourself. Average dude living averagely

[@Nikki-Adams]

There was no version of this plan that ppl were NOT going to complain abt. They’ll get use to it. If NYC ACTUALLY uses the money to update transportation this will remedy many of the complaints ppl have with public transportation. And if you don’t like that it’s crowded..maybe don’t move to or work in one of the most densely populated cities in the country. Just saying 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@adventuresconjuan]

@ right that’s what I am saying. The governor will get credit for it and win re election if no changes happen the. Her political career is over !!! But I tell everyone be patient let it happen. The local government is finally making their promise to fix the train stations New Yorkers been asking for

[@johntorre1213]

Wait 'til NY implements a charge on people who works in NY and live in other states. That would be the icing on the cake.

[@AnythingJW]

they already have it, it's called city tax

[@HorsemanExtreme]

they should of done that long time ago. Charge outofstate residence more than NYers.

[@walawala-fo7ds]

many cities do this already including NYC

[@its_frito]

I’m all for the reverse congestion pricing as a New Yorker

[@Saglik-u9x]

Exactly!!!!! All roads in the entire country should be pay per use!!! I hardly drive yet my tax money goes to build and maintain roads that others drive their unnecessarily ginormous vehicles on while polluting the air that I breathe, producing noise I endure, and warming up the planet. When they have an oopsie moment, I might end up in the hospital. Private vehicles are truely the sociopathic way of transportation. At least they should pay for it.

[@JoseTwitterFan]

Fulop 4 NJ Governor. Continued petty interstate bickering rather than necessary cooperation will only lead to zero meaningful solutions and even worse consequences.

[@ee.es00]

Sounds like a horrible idea. Why make matters worse? Solves nothing. Congestion pricing is actually working to clean streets in downtown ny. Jersey doesnt have same issue. Nyers arent going to jersey city just for fun as jersey people do go to nyc.

[@mybigjak]

no one wants to go to jersey

[@robertnapiorski8416]

Righttttt that's why we lead the Northeast in population growth ahead of even NY.

[@mybigjak]

@@robertnapiorski8416 no one living in NY wants to go to jersey

[@nathanbush6781]

For the tourists...Enterprise or Avis/Budget should open easily accessible offices right outside select NJT train stations, that way we don't get charged twice! Or, I'll just take the GW out.

[@jay.t495]

The executives at NJ transit have been pocketing the money and letting the system go to 💩

[@elizabethdavis1696]

Some of the money should go to upgrade the trains that take commuters from New Jersey into New York City maybe make them grade separated so they can travel faster

[@finleymatthews8945]

this was not the direction i was expecting this video to go lol. but i like this guy

[@yateswebb]

to respond to the anchor at the end... yes. exactly. you didn't have traffic, your drive was easy, no one was on the road. You can pay $9 for that. It will actually help fund a hard working nurse's ability to commute into NYC safely and routinely. Anchor came across as fairly pompous here.

[@anthonymulcahy1166]

Smart guy, fair argument

[@gawi4405]

Transit fans: "no, stop, don't" (insert Jack Nicholson nodding gif)

[@f-86zoomer37]

government tyranny fans you mean

[@dubreil07]

Who in New York City commutes to Jersey city for work? Lol. Jersey city is literally an extension of Manhattan that specifically caters to NJ locals lol.

[@GoldenBrown-yd6oo]

He just wants a cut of the money?

[@williamnessanbaum7464]

Sometime soon, some business owner with deep pockets and access to heavy equipment will take the law into their own hands... They will either cut down or rip up the gantry holding up the Congestion Zone toll readers.

[@ShaLawzLivinLife]

Such BS ! Keep creating new problems, not fixing old ones.

[@walawala-fo7ds]

here is an idea: tax the transit riders for the transit improvements they want. crazy idea of paying for the service you use instead of having somebody who doesn't use it pay for it.

[@lilmisspettiieee]

Instead of cutting the fat from government budget and making agencies more efficient, you want to increase the cost of living for people because you wanna keep giving yourself raises

[@tunedtfin917]

He is right though, DC doesn’t have that Problem since it’s a the same agency it’s a beautiful system. Even though MTA and NJT/PATH are all different agencies they should all benefit from this. NYers don’t go to Jersey but their transplants do. Jersey definitely plays a big part in NY economy and NYC is a leech sucking money from anything in a 30 mile radius

[@durece100]

You're being clueless!

[@mvl9591]

Manhattan’s and some of Brooklyn’s electricity comes from South Kearny, NJ. Charge them a “carbon tax” and see how fast they come around.
