New York Government: Helping or Hurting
Most NYC drivers oppose mayor's new $8 fee...
NEW YORK (Reuters) - New York drivers opposed Mayor Michael Bloomberg's new traffic-fighting $8 fee for taking a car into Manhattan, a survey said on Thursday, and almost half of the group said it would force them out of their cars.
Wow. All of a sudden I'm very happy I never moved to New York City. Don't get me wrong I love the people but I think both sides have the wrong idea of this whole thing.
Why wouldn't you be carpooling already anyway?? But I'm not in NYC so perhaps I don't understand everyone's point of views...
Some legislators who represent the city's four outer boroughs have slammed the new congestion fee. They say the plan hits poor residents the hardest, explaining they often must drive as commuting by bus or subway just takes too long.
