Sorry to say that's totally false. I worked in the film/video industry for almost two decades. If you are a small operator shooting birthday parties for $250 a pop, you have to bring your light bag, camera and other gear. Similarly, if you make deliveries or pickups from Manhattan, these fees will prove prohibitive and make people seek alternatives. I'm not going to send my film to get developed in Manhattan when it costs an extra $125 a week, on top of the tolls, to send the driver to pick up and drop off the rolls every day. The decrepit and inefficient state of mass transit in New York is vastly understated.
