It charges people for the privilege of driving their car into the densest part of the largest city in the country. They could take all the money and burn it, and it still would have been worth doing.

For example: https://nyc.streetsblog.org/2024/12/18/nj-refusing-generous-congestion-pricing-lawsuit-ettlement-hochul-says https://nyc.streetsblog.org/2024/12/18/nj-refusing-generous-... My hope is this will change as NJ accepts the outcome and benefits from it too.
