Yes! Except this isn't about "how much the city might have collected in one hour," but instead:
+ Better trains
+ Faster buses [notice the cop car helping clog the bus lane?]
+ Less pollution
+ Faster ambulances
+ Safer cyclists
+ Greater economic productivity
+ More jobs
+ A more livable New York

Instead, we got this, on a Saturday afternoon of a long holiday weekend!

Part of the exact same mindset that killed congestion pricing also leads to the "The Sad State of Underground Retail in New York City"

Perhaps look to places that actually treat their transit network as the lifeblood of the city that they truly are?
Die Kaufhäuser befinden sich im Niedergang. Unser verändertes Konsumverhalten bedroht aber auch Einkaufsstraßen und -zentren: Insgesamt gibt es 80 in der Stadt. Um sie kümmert sich nun eine Task-Force. In deren Fokus stehen beispielsweise die Schönhauser Arcaden. Weil eine Straßenbrücke im Eingangsbereich erneuert wird, drohen sieben Jahre Dauerbaustelle. Für die schrumpfende Kundenanzahl ist das nicht sonderlich attraktiv. Ein Beitrag von Martin Küper
@gwagner They seriously should keep the cars to the outer-rim of the island and make the rest walking/biking.
Yea that won't happen. LOL 🤣

If I was a driver I’d think “less #traffic” (when I have to drive)
“One Less Car” is a plus if you’re behind a line of cars
It takes a second for it to sneak up on you that getting out of your own car might be better than being stuck in one given the chance
