A congestion tax? That seems very unlikely to me, I would be shocked if car owners/users were not wealthier almost across the board.

- bunderbunder 8y agoWell, car owners living in Manhattan, anyway. I doubt the same is true for FHV drivers coming in from further out.
- ahoy 8y agoIn my (admittedly anecdotal) experience, the poorest here don't have cars.
- CydeWeys 8y agoThere aren't many poor people commuting into Manhattan every day using a car. You'd be spending way more on fuel and parking than the monthly MTA ticket costs.
- bunderbunder 8y agoWell, if you're an FHV driver, MTA won't cut it, since you can't take it on the train with you, and you need it to do your job. On the upside, given the nature of the work, you shouldn't have to worry too much about parking costs.
