This effect — regular commuters switching to transit, so delivery drivers, small business owners, and tradespeople who *need* to drive can make the journey faster & be more efficient overall — is what the most extreme pro-pricing people said would happen.

“Actually, congestion pricing will most help the people who absolutely need to drive into Manhattan” ranked as an S-tier annoying take on the day that Hochul paused implementation, but here is an electrician from Monmouth County affirming that it’s true on Day 2 of the policy.

I'm really super extreme, then, in that I want congestion pricing to happen, and for the benefits to be visible to people, including those still driving. Wow, that doesn't *seem* extreme to me ...

There is irony is an anti-congestion relief person staring at their watch wondering why their repair person is late for the appointment to unplug their toilet.
