If they really want money they could charge $1 or $2. In NJ they have .80 tolls, 1.75 tolls. Why are they so greedy like this?

[@TheGreatness-gg1jx]

Cuz they're Democrats. They're basically commies- "I'm in power and YOU will pay." $1 or $2 and no one would've noticed.

[@Johnwicker1903]

Great. I switched my party to republican! Lets all do it. Im a proud new yorker

[@ELEVOPR]

ive been switched after HOMOBOMA

[@veritassyfer1185]

Switched back in 2014. They can thank gamer gate crap. That shit WOKE me up to so many other things in society. All I wanted to do was just play video games and live my life. The WOKE idiots had to drag my ass into this. lol

[@Zura-_-Maru]

Im with you i change parties as well im done with this lying thieving Democrats.

[@johns2922]

Me too voting all Republicans this time around, I am tired of the democrats this bs. They are trying to squeeze us whichever way they can

[@blazinpyromaniac]

MTA could have an unlimited budget and still nothing will be done

[@petermattei8510]

Seriously??? How stupid do you have to be to not know that "indefinitely" means, "definitely until after the election"....

[@tdon39]

Sounds like you want congestion pricing.

[@ELEVOPR]

@@tdon39 No sounds like you don't understand what was said. She is saying indefinitely as to fool you and think it won't happen, She is only saying that so that she can win the votes of those that don't want Congestion pricing and once she Wins she will give the middle finger to those that supported her for Indefinitely killing the project and put the project back in play. It was not going to happen in 25 days anyways as there were to many lawsuits in the way. She is a Democrat and a Snake. Never trust a Mother that doesn't allow her kids to Bear Arms as the constitution says we have the right to. She is about power and holding all of it and our rights even if we are killed in the streets because we cannot meet deadly force with Deadly force. I have been to other Pro Gun States and the reason most of those states are polite is because everyone is armed and everyone has the right to defend themselves unlike NYC If you get punched in the face, Stabbed, pushed into the train and could of saved your life by meeting deadly force with Deadly force, NYC will not allow you to even though it is your God Given Born Rights if you are a Born in American Citizen.

No sounds like he actually has a brain and understands exactly what is going on

[@tonymanno2132]

⁠@@MrLicobaby100% exactly November 6th they’ll try it again .

[@tdon39]

@@MrLicobaby Do these people commenting even reside in NYC? Sheesh

[@Memed_Central]

2:39 But why charge drivers more?! They don’t even use the subways. Thats not really fair at all! Enforcement needs to stop fare evasion.

[@blazinpyromaniac]

That's the point. They want less drivers on the street and more people using public transportation

[@sauronthegreat5799]

They need to disband and remove all the license plate readers asap!

[@snackattack200]

Save up your money and leave while you can

[@jjcashflow3690]

Even worse for the people breathing the air 😫

[@4149stonepony]

100 dollars a week a person for clean for a small very wealthy section of New York was never about cleaner air. It was about the anticar leftist agenda.

[@ToxcynArcade]

These people really think this is the end of it. Very sad. They still dont get it.

[@bobbyquinones6032]

Transit is becoming like Disney they want to own NYC

[@Zura-_-Maru]

I'm from NYC. I drive my mother to work and back home, and I take the Queensboro Bridge. I'm not letting my mother ride the subway system; it's dangerous. I will vote all Republican. I'm done with the lying, thieving Democrats. I even changed political parties.

[@stormjacobs5497]

Bravo...smart move. 👍 Pass it on.....Dems gotta GO!!!!

[@recordgalaxy]

Get rid of the MTA pension system , that's where all the monies going

[@dominicperez3777]

F congestion pricing

[@BrooklynBound4]

The state and local governments are a bunch of clowns.

[@MrTekniqs]

Pedestrians are already safe. I can't drive the speed limit in NYC because they make it impossible to move smoothly which is why there is so much traffic. As a NOT rich person that needs to drive through the city sometimes This will be terrible. Remove Speed cameras, Remove Delayed Green Lights. Put red light cameras on all the intersections. But get rid of the speed cameras Everyone is driving 15 miles an hr and they catch every light then you wonder why there is so much congestion? Then you get to a light it turns green but because of the delayed green pedestrians are crossing and the guy at the front doesn't want to scare them so we have to wait another 15 seconds then you're 3rd car in line and get stuck at the red light again.

[@recordgalaxy]

Sell the MTA to China , they have the funds to improve service , or to a private company

[@johnmejia8241]

Nobody protest 🪧

[@whitetrashmillionare4858]

Just a short delay till Election Day.

[@gawi4405]

Unbelievable. Hochul is spineless.

[@4149stonepony]

NO! its great she actually listened to everyone and not the anticar advocacy groups pushing terrible policy. I like to think she woke and smelled the effin' roses!

[@Slayer-33]

Gotta love all the PR these reporters put out, "oh no look at this congestion, oh no breathing this air" F OFF, THESE cars are outside, F off. This was nothing but another TAX on all of us. Trickledown MISERY. F outta here with that BS. Congestion "pricing" needs to go away.

[@ApoloWilliams]

Exactly all of a sudden reports talking about clean air bs

[@4149stonepony]

God bless your soul, the media is so mad that the unwashed can actually still drive into Manhattan and they can't keep the riff raff out that easily. The liberal media was so hoping this would happen and listening to them whine is just desserts, I love it! They all bought BS about the environment when it is all about elitism that liberals love and the wealthy can afford.

[@BrooklynBound4]

Audit the MTA! MTA has been crying broke forever STOP WITH THE NONSENSE!

[@daintyminnie9270]

MTA need money

[@SoloJedi_]

Bikers have 2 lanes on the Brooklyn bridge. Bikers have been prioritized for long enough. Get rid of the taxis and Ubers. Watch how quick traffic and overall massive amounts of cars throughout the city decrease

[@enarush1]

It’s those stupid Citi Bike stations and restaurant sheds that needs to go first

[@4149stonepony]

Why would the democrats do that, they planned it that way. Lets create fake congestion for fake vibrancy so they can justify bike lanes and if a road moves to well put cameras there and when no gets tickets lower the speed limit. These liberals have an agenda and a scheme that is pro-tax, anti car, elitist, anti middle class, and something only the wealthy can afford. Believe me it much bigger than simple reasons related to traffic, its and agenda.

[@brandonmiller8988]

What a disappoint that governor delayed. We need congestion pricing because we need reduce traffic and climate change and pollution.

[@alijordanx8954]

No ppl need to travel by car to get to point A to point B a lot of ppl don’t like public transportation

[@jjcashflow3690]

Be quiet !! You want to pay more for food 🥘 & higher cost to items cause trucks will pay $35 per toll . Used your brain . You hate pollution leave nyc

[@jjcashflow3690]

Go live in Nebraska I heard there no pollution over there .

[@cinerama62]

Sheep.

[@Zura-_-Maru]

🤣 like only putting congestion pricing in the downtown district will decrease climate change. Upper Manhattan will see increased congestion and traffic. And pollution-I don’t see any difference lol 🤣. Then you’ve got Brooklyn, Queens, and the Bronx polluting as well.
