Reply to comment by nasty_brutish_longer in Holland Tunnel Traffic Study Review by moobycow

> There's also the oft-bandied idea of a surcharge for anyone who enters the tunnel within an hour of exiting 14 b or c. That won't happen, of course, because the Turnpike authority wants cars to filter through here. We're a traffic repository to them.

I don't love this because, hypothetically, I swing by and pick up a friend in JC, then I get hit with a surcharge? Or need to stop and get something at home and head in to work?

I don't love it because, let's face it, enough people would be willing to pay the charge to clog our streets anyway. And they'll feel entitled to a shorter trip, at greater risk to anyone using a crosswalk.

But I can comfortably guarantee we'll never see it enacted. The NJTA likes our overflow capacity too much to let that happen. We're not a city to them, we're a customer queuing space.
