Mass transit requires money to pay for it; congestion pricing brings in money. The two ideas aren't in opposition to each other; they are complementary.

- ineedasername 7y agoMass transit should pay for itself. A bond issue that is paid back out of the revenue generated. Money generated from congestion pricing though has (in NYC) simply been funneled to the increasing Port Authority operating budget with no impact on congestion as there are more cars than ever. If it was genuinely used for capital improvement to mass transit I wouldn't mind as much.
