Getting incredibly doubtful congestion pricing will ever pass into reality. Why pass significant fixes when being jaded complainers is part of our identity.

They should focus on going after people who deface plates and the ones that also block bike lanes . That’s much easier to make revenue while we study congestion prices , because paying $16+ to cross from NJ is a big deterrent for many drivers who will otherwise take NJ transit or PATH to go into Manhattan

That’s what I’m saying is already a big deterrent because those tolls are in place already. Imagine you live in JC, Hoboken, Newark, Fort Lee or anywhere in northern NJ where PATH or NJ buses are readily available and you want to go to midtown or anything below , are you really going to drive by yourself , Pay tolls and even more on parking when getting there ? the same could apply to going from other boros and towns east of Manhattan like Queens , Brooklyn and Suffolk county
