> regressive tax I don't think that word means what you think it means.

  It does, but if you'll elaborate on your incorrect understanding I'd be happy to educate you: https://ops.fhwa.dot.gov/publications/fhwahop08040/cp_prim5_03.htm https://ops.fhwa.dot.gov/publications/fhwahop08040/cp_prim5_... > most forms of transportation finance—fuel taxes, sales taxes, and tolls—are regressive forms of taxation in that they burden the poor more than they do the rich.

    I agree with you, and the source, that most transportation taxes are regressive. Where you lose me is that THIS one is. Driving into Manhattan isn't something the vast majority of poorer commuters are doing.
