The MTA board gave its final sign-off for the program to toll motorists who drive south of 60th Street, realizing a dream transit advocates have pursued for more than 50 years.
I’m happy about this because I can still afford to drive there, and this means there will be fewer cars so driving will be nicer and parking will be more available.
or alternately, relieving congestion, as well as forcing the electorate in nyc and state, to make more, better, reliable public transportation the commuters first choice, is a good thing. there is only so much space in nyc, congestion is a problem, charging people more to continue to be part of the problem is the only answer here.

Motorists greedily demanding free and unlimited access is the real problem.
