wait, who does that? If you have to go somewhere, and don't want to take the subway, you usually get a cab. I am assuming normal yellow cabs will not be affected by this charge.
I live in Manhattan, and the people that I know that own a car and live here, they fall in the categories:
1. Work outside/far in the burbs, and need the car to go to work.
2. Are rich, and their car is there for the weekends...
3. Have a "commercial license", and can park at places where most normal folks can't.
In some areas you can find parking during the day, but in most places where there are businesses (most of downtown, and midtown), it is impossible finding a parking place unless you are paying a lot of money.
Much cheaper and less hassle to get a cab
- thanksgiving 9y agoI think everyone (I guess other than emergency services?) should pay the congestion charge and the money should never go back to the general treasury and be directly earmarked for subways and buses only.
- maxhallinan 9y agoIn the parent, I meant cab not car. Yes, I usually would take a cab. But if there are no cabs available, which can happen often near Broadway and Canal Street, for example, then it can be easier to use a ride hailing app.
