- neilv 2y agoPeople taking the bus and other mass transit will benefit even more when everyone has to take it, including the wealthy, and therefore there is more pressure to improve it.
- ARandumGuy 2y agoFor sure, but do you think a complete ban on car traffic in Manhattan would ever get passed? Let's not let perfect be the enemy of good.
- neilv 2y agoI suspect I'd rather do the no-op -- make the wealthy continue to suffer congestion just like everyone else -- than to further increase inequality with this Congestion Pricing. The trickle-down we've been seeing is the wealthy urinating upon everyone else from a great height.
