In just 25 years, 1,000,000 more people will be on New York City's subways, buses and streets.
What if congestion pricing prepared us for that future and started reducing overcrowding now?
What if every penny went to improve public transportation and create new bus and subway lines for all New Yorkers?
What if congestion pricing meant less traffic, cleaner air and a healthier environment?
What if New York lets this chance pass us by?
@brookiynmuscieman You must be talking about your "real world" self and not your phony handle! I know you and your Bloomie (as you love to call him when you blow him) love getting cozy in the back seat. I know Bloomberg loves gaysians (gay asians) like yourself and love a good ball game. Got rice?

Let's face it! You're a gay gook who's hiding behind another person's handle because you don't want to stand up for your lover Bloomberg! Might as well bend over and take it up the ass!

Part2- @intercityrailpal, people don't pay to cross the East River, people pay for public transportation to ride across the bridges. That's a big difference! I mean, I could also take a car service/taxi across the bridge and that's not "free."
There's better ways of improving the city's problems than to simply tax "the next man" (which might be you when Bloomberg decides on some other dumb law). If Bloomie says he'll fight corruption in the MTA, he better start keeping his promise now!

Why? Because those people who cross the East River are using public transportation! I could go from here and three blocks from here and pay the same price as going into the city using public transportation.
Yes, prices are inflated because of oil but basically, if you start charging more to go somewhere, our prices raise too! Let's say we raise the tolls in New Jersey...we all pay more for items we need. If we start putting tolls on city bridges, we'll be paying much more money.

Yawn! Brookiynmuscieman (aka CloeBuckingham, who isn't really a girl but posts a pic just to get viewers to his page), it's obvious you have homosexual tendencies and you need to come out of your closet!

brookiynmuscieman, it's obvious that you have no faith in your decision to support Bloomberg which is why you hide out with a fake handle trying to make it look like "me."
I know what kind of person you are. Your goal is not to help people but to create "confusion" among others. That's not going to work because people are smarter than you think. You're nothing but a hack and with all your different handles, you will never amount to anything.

@BrooklynMuscleMan What if we replace all the rail lines distroyied by the trucking lobby. Freight and passenger! Prices are already inflated because they use highway transport. Which uses lots and lots of oil! Why is it the only people who pay to cross the east river are transit riders?Cars and trucks go free! Most rail transport in the city is gone! El's and streetcars, which use electric power gone! Cities were built by trains not cars and trucks. For lower gas prices, put people on trains.
