I won't take a position on this plan until I see the details. There are plenty of neighborhoods south of 60th that aren't congested. And congestion varies greatly by time of day. It would be pretty unfortunate if entities which aren't actually contributing to congestion get swept into this scheme. Delivery trucks need to service businesses in busy areas, but they usually operate in the early morning when traffic is light. Likewise, taxis and rideshares that operate during off-off hours are filling in for the reduced service of the MTA without actually contributing to congestion. A congestion pricing scheme that increases the efficiency of the total transportation system would be excellent, but I am skeptical. Congestion, whether on the subway or the road (or even the sidewalk), is already a negative feedback loop that encourages seeking alternate routes/times. If people are taking congested roadways, they are doing so _in spite_ of all the other options available to them in a city with extensive public transit. I am curious what kind of data informs this plan and whether it is primarily a solution to transit times or just another source of revenue for the MTA.
