"Only after Donald Trump won re-election did it start."
That makes it seem like Trump was pro-congestion pricing... he was not. I remember reading there was a threat and attempt by him to reverse it. Lest it seem like I am a Trump hater, I am very much not impressed by Hochul's delaying which was certainly because of her special interests.

- enragedcacti 1y agoThere was no "They". The state legislature passed it, NY/NYC/MTA designed it, and the Biden admin approved it to go into effect before the election. Kathy Hochul delayed it until after the election on extremely spurious grounds, despite the law being on the books and NYCers supporting it.
