- efavdb 1y agoFor completeness, might as well add not excellent for those who have a car, find driving more convenient, but can’t afford the toll.
- atkailash 1y agoOh well then. Either spend less on the train (also saving money on gas and maintenance) or stay in suburbia. We pay a premium to live in the city, much more than the $9 so I’m not gonna shed any tears that it’s not much less convenient for someone to not drive Driving is almost always more convenient on many levels, so it’s not really the best argument start from “it’s just easier”
- an_account 1y agoIf you can afford a car in NYC then you can afford the toll. Cars are very expensive to own.
- jampekka 1y agoIf you could afford the car only just, it's quite obvious you can't afford it if you now have to pay congestion charges on top.
- hombre_fatal 1y agoTechnically true, but it's a megaluxury that comes at a high cost, especially to everyone else.
- const_cast 1y agoAt that point you're already living beyond your means. Automobiles take up, on average, 15% of the gross income of the average American. Just take the 15% gross salary raise and move on with your life.
