@nytimes: After New York City's congestion pricing took effect, it almost immediately began to alter traffic patterns, commuter behavior, transit service and even city noise. Emily Badger, who writes about cities and urban policy, looks at three apparent effects since the tolls began in January. #NYC #congestionpricing

I had to go back and watch the car driving through pedestrians everyone is commenting about…. And clearly any who is commenting has never visited /driven in NYC before 😂

I wonder how businesses are doing in the congestion zone. Have they seen a decline in sales/foot traffic since its implementation

big policy win for New York, imagine how much better off we'd be if we had implemented this earlier

Still doesn’t change the fact that the MTA is privately owned & has no business charging people for driving on city-owned streets.

Yeah but when native New Yorkers haven’t seen any changes to the mta over the 10 years and everyone is like add congestion pricing. Yeah! We pay insurance, we pay vehicle registration. Traffic got pushed up. Make it make sense. No improvements on public transportation. Where’s is the money going to?

this was all designed by Andy Byford to fund the improvements to the MTA. it's almost like he's one of the best public transit beaurocrats the world has ever seen and Cuomo/DeBlasio should have let him do his job! bring him back!!

Like Paris, it takes time. At first everyone complained, now almost nobody drives. The city is SOOOOO much better, less noise, less pollution, less traffic, better walking experience. NIGHT AND DAY
