What the hell is congestion pricing?

Charging cars a toll to incentivize alternative transport during peak hours.

You think that turd has jurisdiction? They're also pretty tired of his shit in NY

[–] Schadrach@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 4 weeks ago

I mean, don't they functionally own the mayor of NY? Like, wasn't there a whole interview where it was all but stated openly that if the NY mayor doesn't do what Trump wants he's going to be charged with crimes they have evidence of but are holding back on prosecution for?

As long as your transit options don’t suck dick. My last job was a 15 minute drive versus a 1.5 hour bus journey, and my current job starts at 4am with no bus service to the area between midnight and 6am.

Of course, NYC has the best mass transit system in the US so it works well there. I guess I misinterpreted your comment to mean congestion pricing will work everywhere, and took the oppourtunity to bitch about my city’s shite transit.

New York can no longer enforce it under decree of trump. It mostly targeted Manhattan and his billionaire homies couldn't stand to pay $9.

If I was a rich guy I'd be all for it, less traffic for me to drive/be driven through.

[–] seang96@spgrn.com 21 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

But $9! You could make that in less than a second if you were a rich guy!

[–] SuperSpruce@lemmy.zip 5 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Unexpected factorial

But if you could make $9 per second, you could make $9! per day

[–] stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 4 weeks ago

no no the factorial was intentional

More like Republicans in Jersey whined until they got their way.
