I stand with New Jersey on this one.
Eventually you’ll get charged for congestion walking.
I usually drive in to Manhattan with my wife once or twice a week for dinner but not anymore food is expensive enough without 15 dollars added to the bill I will eat in Queens from now on ,and what about the parking garages how much money will they lose over this?
They're fools. These actions hurt local businesses in Manhattan leading to more closures, vacancies, and less revenue in the long run. NJ gov is just upset that they're not invited to eat at the table.
@@isaudythey have hopes that people will defer to MTA for city transportation. But we all know that many will just avoid manhattan for their safety. Not only that, local businesses will raise their prices due to congestion toll.
@@ericpi9453 I'm from that city. MTA is a terrible means of transportation. Seriously outdated and gonna get worse as the population increases. Its a shit show. NYC is a dying city.
probably best to stay out of NYC parking garage in Manhattan if you have been following about some collapsing and others are in need of repairs.
Good. Less crowded now in nyc fir residents
People from nj don’t pay nyc taxes nor ny state taxes so what are they complaining about. Take the subway if you can’t afford 15 dollars
You’re ignorant. Those who work in NYC but live in NJ pay taxes in both states.
-
Also, why do they need more taxes when they mismanage what they already have? How does a first world city taking in 12B a year (more than some nations) experience flooding? They’re stealing it. So more tax equals more theft. Double digit iq socialist/statist.
Why is everyone against this? I’m confused. NYC is an extremely densely populated city and space is an absolute premium. You driving a lone in your SUV is extremely inefficient way of traveling and making traffic for other more efficient means of travel (busses) not to mention the actual emergency delays. I’m for it, everyone’s just upset that something that was free is now no longer free. But the fact of the matter is that travel needs to be more efficient, or else no one wins, at least now, people in busses can get to their destination quicker.
Carbrains.
At least a better discount? NJ needs to fight to remove the congestion tax entirely.
New York has truly lost it!
We drivers need to reclaim our streets,parking, and other driving and parking rights these clowns are trying to steal from us.
@@brooklynelite5428 who built the roads?
@xuem19 The hard-working men and women.
@brooklynelite5428
When you pay a fair price for parking on the street, feel free to claim the road. Is anybody questioning why people without cars should subsidize car owners? I say even the car owners in Manhattan should pay for street parking. I see those cars moving only 10 min per week when the street is being cleaned. If you believe your 2 ton of steel deserves a spot on public roads, you’d better pay sth like $500/month.
@chefnyc If it been like that for years and before we were born, leave it alone. I have no problem nor do my neighbors or family. All this wanting to steal streets to play in and ride bikes in may they should invest more into parks so this type of thing people are trying to do but will be met with some type of resistance can go there instead of my spot in front of my home or where I choose to shop or for leisure.
I'd stay the heck out of NYC, how adams became mayor has to be one incredible tale.
the Audacity! Nyc relies on NJ so much for warehouse facilities, import/export, and skilled labor
Poor infrastructure planning. They need to look 20 -50 years into the future. NYC is overgrown. NJ should offer incentives to bring businesses to NJ.
NYC needs more taxpayer money for the migrants
.....don't know about"migrants".....what has happened in NY and other places is an invasion by ILLEGAL ALIENS!.People really should call "a spade,a spade" and Eff being politically correct.
Gotta refill them migrant debit cards somehow
Clash of leftists utopias 😂
Garden state is not nearly as bad as NY
@@andrewquigley8938 Only because most of the people in NJ wouldn't be hired for TV commercial 😂
Cause why? Don't you want to pay 15 dollars for an egg sandwich? You're so ridiculous; the whole state of New Jersey and New York are different from these cities. If you want a "leftist utopia," you can go out west. @@Bart-dg6qv
And we got some of the nicest, most historical towns in the nation.@@Bart-dg6qv
How's NJ relevant to this. If they have any say, can we go and tell For lee what to do? Nyers can complain, but NJ, CT, PA should not have a voice in this.
I live in CT and I support this. I never drive into the City, I always take Metro-North when I go there. This will provide more funding for Metro-North so that train service can be improved and expanded.
Price of living going up quality of life going down. That’s what ny gives you.
yettttttt no plans to fix NJT from NJ politicians..... O.K....
Compared to the unsafe subways where people are shoved in front of cars? Yeah O.K.
@@andrewquigley8938 ANDDDDD NJT buses in Newark are any safer?? Sorry babe, but don't drive into the city or come at all if you're so upset.
They want your money
Infrastructure isn’t free 🤷♂️
Wait, so New Jersey can get a discounted rate and New Yorkers pay full price??? Hey New York City wake up and tell MTA, NO! Get some good lawyers and sue MTA in Federal Court too!!!
yea, shut the GWB down
Every car with a new york plate crossing into NJ gets tagged with a fifteen dollar toll. State police stop as many as possible and ticket every possible violation real or imagined.
MTA needs more money for their new toys
If by “new toys” you mean rail cars and buses that aren’t 50 years old, then I hope they get it!
I can't wait for this to kick in. Crazy how salty NJ residents are 😂. I will say, you guys deserve a better train system. Would be nice of the MTA could help somehow
U own any shares in mta?
they dont want trains and buses, they want their cars and their parking lots. so let them deal with the consequences of that 🤣
You do realize NJ could just toll NYC goods and services to death?
You mad??@@elrich500
LMAO, NJ transit is not even that bad compared to the rat-infested MTA. Your train stations haven't even been safe, clean, or accessible. Congestion pricing won't do anything for your budget if you do numerical research. The MTA will STILL fail. And you are blocking lots of essential workers and emergency personnel as well. Get ready for your rent to go higher and your 13-dollar bacon, egg, and cheese.
Environmental impact: NJ suburb people, leave your cars in NJ. Take the train!
they already charging congestions when you take uber or lyft, lawsuit?
Car commuters from NJ are almost all rich guys in finance. I really don’t have that much sympathy.
Not true you have people coming from Newark and orange
@@mache2784 Yeah, right. Paying $50 a day to park plus the tunnel? I don’t think so.
There is a frequent train those people can take. In Newark there is the PATH, NEC, NJCL, and several buses. In Orange there is the MNE and feeder buses to Brick Church, NWK Broad, and NWK PENN for more frequent service. @@mache2784
HOW DOES IT MAKE SENSE THAT WE NEED TO PAY TO DRIVE IN OUR OWN FUCKING CITY?
You have to pay to ride the train in NYC, why should the roads be free?
They want us riding citibikes like the hipsters 😂
@@airportexpert4799broski roads aren't free nys drivers pay gas tax, registration fees, yearly inspections
But what about for the drivers? Is anything going ti change? Don't think so
they can’t end the plan they already put their money up. They had to be stopped before they did that.
I JUST DON'T GET IT. The Port Authority of NY and NJ are in charge of the bridges and tunnels into Manhattan from NJ, not the MTA. They are also in charge of their business relationship with EzPass. The MTA has no jurisdiction whatsoever. All the Port Authority has to do is have a meeting and vote to not charge the fee and remit to the MTA. NYC and the MTA can make their own laws, regulations, and rules all they want. The Port Authority is independent and makes its own rules, that are shared by both NY and NJ. If NYC wants to work with the MTA for congestion pricing in Manhattan, on the island, south of a certain block, that is between NYC and the MTA. The Port Authority can't be bossed around by NYC or the MTA. They do not answer to them. How is this even going to court? Did people forget who runs who??
Keep voting democrat, folks!!
Mta needs more money for overtime for a system they say people don't use
They just want more tax payer money.. meanwhile all this will go back to consumers!
The fact that this is being allowed is criminal. There is zero reason to live or work in this city anymore.
There is no environmental improvement… all commercial vehicles with most pollutions still need to come in. Sandwich will be 40$ soon.. the Mom and Pop has to come after 9pm to save couple bucks which means more noises and traffics at night time… and a year from now… MTA chairman phat bonus for sure
Less people in private cars should mean more efficient deliveries.
@@justinmelao3434 naive simple mind doesn’t know how small by small business works. if u ever look at the street of nyc. they are not private car. they are mostly
business like trucks taxi uber. kid
@@ometofu The majority are passenger cars. Traffic congestion is exponential so a small decrease or increase in volume has a massive effect. Vehicles unable to clear an intersection are carried to the next cycle creating a cascading effect. Queues which would have been able to be cleared in a single cycle now take multiple cycles.
@@justinmelao3434 nonsense. and bullshit thought process again. i just went out lunch. i see no passengers cars. Paper basement dweller. u allowed to travel? weak weak
NJ should suck some of the businesses out of NYC and grow NJ economy.
Sooo better price for Jersey taxis n Uber but F New Yorkers of course 🙄
NEW JERSEY IS JUST MAD BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT GETTING A CUT OF THE PIE. IT'S THAT SIMPLE. ALL THE MONEY IS GOING TO NYC AND NEW YORK STATE. JEALOUSY IS A HELL OF A DRUG.
MTA is at worst corrupt, at best incompetent. MTA should be shrunk down to an office and the system privatized. The MTA has justified EVERY price increase for "improvements." Not one thing has improved. In five years they will cry that they don't have money.
No, the money is going to the MTA, you buffoon. Why haven't they done anything since the fares were increased? They are also blocking part of NY state and making the other 4 boroughs pay. Y'all are so quick to support a new tax. Weird
Fuck MTA more like MUST TAKE ALL
So happy to see all the hate lol
Man she is breathtakingly beautiful
A simple way they could have done this is would have been to just charge $5 to enter Manhattan (from any entry point). If I'm driving from queens to bronx, I drive through manhattan to avoid the toll. I wouldn't do this if it cost the same amount of money to enter Manhattan. This would lower traffic in Manhattan since people would pay bridges instead of avoiding them by going around (since it would be same price). This would also reduce pollution since they will be driving less miles by not going around...I don't see how they were able to make a simple solution so difficult...
