NYC plans to tax drivers for entering Manhattan

[phcitywarrior]

I think that the same thing is done in London or Paris or Barcelona...I can't remember which one but it worked for what they were trying to accomplish

London is planning on doing something similar IIRC

They already are but they are doing it in a different way, in zones during peak rush hour/working hours.

Yep, just talked to my boy in London. Said during certain times they're taxing cars that come into Central London.

Another thing they are looking to do is ban or tax or gas fired cares that come into Central by 2025(?). They want to push electric cars forward.

Are they trying to get cars off the street

Yes

That's their goal.

They need to build more stations in the other boroughs then.

This will make more people take subway which is not even able to function properly with declining ridership. MTA already announced that even with price increases they will decrease service So what's going to happen when additional people are forced to take trans? My guess is that things won't change until there's multiple deaths/stampede at a station

I drive into NYC everyday. I have a company truck. Do this and it will put an extra $8.8K a month in expenses for the already small company I work for ($25/day x 16 mechanics = $400/day x 22 working days a month =$8.8K).

This is what the climate change con is all about though. Hurting small business, and ultimately crushing humanity in general. But yall dumb n!ggas think its real.

Yup. Funny cuz i just watched a piracy show set in 1700s where when they went ti america they were bytching abiut all the taxes and tariffs they had to pay just to enter the harbor to do busjness. Wars been fought for less.

“And we’re the pirates”.


They just finding new ways to bleed us dry. Climate change is their new modern vehicle.

This will make more people take subway

thats honestly what i was curious about, if they're shooting for less traffic or more revenue by design

i dont know shyt about commuting into NY, so im wondering if this will actually make people decide to take trains, or if people just dont have a choice and theyll have to pay these fukkin thieves no matter what
