The future of congestion pricing

The fate of congestion pricing could lie in the hands of the Trump administration.

[@torrestorres1668]

They are ripping off the working class is incredible. How this man says is working.

[@henningfilms]

@@torrestorres1668 Ripping off the working class, in what way? It is egotistical to think that you have a right to block ambulances, firefighters, police, buses and taxis without paying. When you have congestion pricing you are paying for time and if you find it to be too expensive to drive. Take the subway or bus

[@henningfilms]

@ Nothing is free, the street is funded by taxes. More fair to have the people driving on the street pay for it. Or are you a socialist?

Vote out Kathy Hochul in 2026! Such a disaster!

RIGHT BACK AT YAH FDT.

[@Blair-e7h]

She stinks!

[@louisjohnson3755]

I’m voting her out because she paused congestion pricing

[@mvl9591]

For years,the politicians wanted to put tolls on the East River bridges. But there was no room for toll plazas.

[@cynthiakozikowski1765]

Congestion pricing is absolutely a scam! Investigate the MTA and what they do with the money. There is total abuse and misuse of the funds!

[@jbalien20]

It's not a scam. Either you pay to drive in lower Manhattan or don't drive here. It's that simple.

For all the crap democratic New York voters gave trump he is now your savior. Sell outs.

[@pski2515]

Dude said they made the air cleaner which ia bullshit because the traffic just moved else where.

[@henningfilms]

No? Don't drive. It's a city, take the subway or bus

[@louisjohnson3755]

@@Harper.S.28how is someone going to avoid congestion pricing by driving in Bronx or Staten Island when they still have to go to Manhattan. If they are going to Manhattan, the only way to avoid it is by taking transit or biking. Your argument makes no sense

[@Alucard-vv1kc]

New Jersey and New Yorkers, Why these people think New Yorkers alike are happy about congestion pricing. They talking nonsense. We are not happy about congestion pricing. Take it down! They not charging anyone to go to Brooklyn, queens, Bronx. Take it down!

[@Tainoblazed]

Nobody is a fan of this money grab

[@jbalien20]

I live in Manhattan. I shouldn't be arguing with drivers just to cross the street. Those of us that lives here, we're satisfied with the congestion tolls. If anything, I hope they raise it.

[@atomicdonton]

Elon musk should overhaul the MTA

[@atomicdonton]

Trump said he would fix this problem what is taking so long to do?

[@greatonepro]

Daniel Pearlstein is delusional.

[@andyw5906]

this guy is fking out of touch. he is not paying for this scam price. so it is working. he can travel quicker

[@josearias2671]

Don’t think that guy even lives in nyc. Looks like he’s at home working remotely. Smart move. Because New Yorkers don’t want to see any of the people that approved congestion pricing on the streets.

[@veritassyfer1185]

It's a scam and everyone knows it. The only idiots that think this is good can't even tell you what a Women is.

[@mkc93]

It is a money grab, the reason there is no traffic is that people have to pay $10.00 to enter Lower Manhattan and the cost of goods will increase because of the congestion toll also.

[@Ctrolex]

First he said 50k then 100k jobs. Bald headed liar.

[@durece100]

Who?

[@zoekane2327]

Why not charge congestion price to NY license plates come to NJ?

[@RidingWithJahv]

People are saving time? But have to work longer to afford the new tolls. Can't make this sh*t up

[@Blair-e7h]

They found a way for NJ drivers to pay for the Subway

[@hellsingformeinbrooklyn7888]

Hopefully he end congesting pricing and hold it the mta accountable for losing $33 billion dollars +

[@BigD4562]

I'm not a Trump fan at all and I hope he'll end congestion pricing. This dude is talking about all these things and it's only been 3 weeks with no data. He's talking out of his a$$. Let's see what happens if they tax all the people south of 60th street for the MTA and see how many people will be on board.

[@drakesessions3544]

He was just sworn in Monday

[@robinw3716]

They are already taxed south of 60th st. All the shops have raised their prices after congestion pricing went into effect. Food prices is through the roof right now.

Drivers try to follow the law (impossible)

[@louisjohnson3755]

By saying you want to ban red light and speed cameras, you’re basically saying you want even more people to die from car crashes. Without red lights, pedestrians cyclists and car drivers are going to get hit and die. I can’t believe people like you are so ignorant that you will put others lives at risk so that you can drive faster. You sicken me

[@Blair-e7h]

Of course, Mr Pearlstein likes congesting pricing, he's not paying the $9, and it's a hit on NJ drivers who don't even use the subway.

[@jamesbraunreuther7982]

This guy is clearly delusional, it is crushing the city's economy. Stores and restaurants are having to deal with thr cost and throw it on to the consumers.

[@durece100]

New Jersey Governor phil murphy needs to replaced. He can't see the heavy traffic, doesn't care about New Jerseyans who are being ill, getting injured, or getting affect by the air pollution. He is spineless!

Abuse of power. Congestion pricing is an issue for local governments, not federal government.
