Giants are on the road and Knicks off today. I’m pro-pricing. But you need wayyyyyy more data before you can say it’s working.
here’s the website, it’s super cool to play around with! congestion-pricing-tracker.com
$MARA is down over 13%
Yesterday evening, we tweeted about the $4M+ in calls sold on $MARA. Mara missed earnings and dropped $3 today.

My only concern is if it ultimately leads to a lot more people using rideshare services rather than public transportation - which then will lead to an increase in rideshare vehicles on the road, and the traffic comes right back to where it was.
As long as we're into small sample sizes, the exit for 79th street/Boat Basin off the WSH at 4pm today was more backed up than I have ever seen, as that is the last exit before the congestion zone. Can't imagine what it will be like on a work day.
Congestion pricing is a great example of how market logics can be used to advance social progress!
What exactly is the zone where congestion pricing takes effect? What is the northern boundary?
What were the times last year right after the holidays and before a gigantic snowstorm?

Is there a corresponding uptick in train riders?? If not, that is *lost revenue* to every single vendor in the City - and lost tax revenue to the City - because people are not coming in.
Is today, the first Sunday of the year, like the average Sunday?
N=1.
Curious how business volumes compare. Actually if all business is closed volumes will drop much more.
Great! Now can stop counting money lost since congestion pricing was delayed 190 days ago. This snapshot was about 18 hours after it went into effect. Half a billion dollars - pretty soon, you're talking real money...

I think you need more data than that, will also be interesting to see if it affects the local economy in other ways.
lol let’s check back a year in and see what rents, population and occupancy rates looks like
It’s a windy, freezing cold Sunday and everyone is hung over from the holidays. What the hell does “before Jan 5” mean? Compared to what? The bustle of December? The yearly average?
These are the same people that celebrate masks and mandatory experimental gene therapies...
Why is it that New York's government hates people who aren't rich enough to fork over the $9 per trip?
Poor people aren't allowed in the city. Got it. This is completely normal in America.
Yes, make the poor, poorer and keep them where they are. Great system for the rich.
Yeah wait until you see how that works for local restaurants and other venues. People will just stay away.
Easier travel for the NY wealthy elites and the poor and middle class get to endure the Hunger Games on public transportation. Cheers to the environment!
This is going to have a major effect on tourism. No tourists are going to use public transportation considering how dangerous it is now, and most tourists are going to forgo traveling to NYC now. Y'all did it! Now NJ just has to create a New Yorker tax for traveling to NJ. Keep

Interesting how everyone focuses on Manhattan's improved traffic while ignoring how these cars are now flooding residential neighborhoods to avoid the fees.
Yes, who needs those visits and their money. They ain’t on the subway

Here is Representative Jerry Nadler getting out of his taxpayer-funded, NYPD-driven SUV, in which he pays zero tolls. x.com/repjerrynadler…
This is idiotic. Sunday after the holidays in NYC is historically quiet
“Congestion pricing” = taxation = theft
They’re literally charging you just move around the city and you’re celebrating that?
Jesus Christ, I’m glad I don’t live in a dystopian hell hole like this.
I bet if you charged motorists $200 there would be even fewer cars. What a concept!
Sandra thought a rideshare would be the easy choice for her business trip. But when peak hours hit, she was left stranded—and late. 
Get the car you need, when you need it. No waiting, no surprises—just reliable transportation that’s ready to go.

Fewer retail customers. Bad for Manhattan stores.
According to the live cam all areas outside the congestion zone look pretty normal to me as I predicted. The real number is how many extra subway, Path, Metro North and LIRR riders were they today?
It’s also 20°f outside in nyc today and there’s literally no one outside
Everybody is avoiding Manhattan altogether. When the small businesses start close in congestion neighborhoods, you'd have achieved your goals 
The people aren't there because they cannot afford it.
Commute time is for the upper middle class and above.
Average person has a longer commute now.

It's almost like an increase in taxes decreases the overall amount of business that takes place
This is awesome for you! But you’ve lost my entertainment spending.
How about tracking customer counts at the Blue Note?
Yay, people staying home.
You did it! You killed Manhattan!!
It’s going to have a lot of unintended consequences, longer term. If more cities move this direction, it may start to price out the lower classes and further exacerbate the have and have not situation.
And then you'll never guess what happened next...
Look, we forced lower class people into public transport! Imagine thinking this makes you the good guy.
Meanwhile on the subway

Politicians individually, fire departments, police departments, ambulance services, buses, trash collectors all should have to pay the same fee so the cost is distributed fairly.
