Transit advocates criticize New York State's plan to expand city highways, arguing it contradicts climate goals. Debates arise over the effectiveness of cordon taxes in reducing congestion and promoting public transportation over private vehicles in NYC.
Literally who cares what @RidersAlliance thinks. They are hostile, advocate to increase congestion then tax you for it, and overall have made the traveling around NYC experience worse for all stakeholders. Fanatics get way too much microphone time. https://t.co/2FOm4Q2ecS

People who claim to care deeply about traffic, pollution, CO2, and the costs of operating efficient public transportation should absolutely NEVER be riding on buses in midtown, and should instead be on the subway. But thanks anyway for the reminder of how awful buses are. https://t.co/huH1jb9gxH
Proponents of cordon taxes (propaganda term: "congestion pricing") never talk about actually reducing congestion. (Like "Great, drivers will have faster commutes!") Instead, it's all about more $$$ for the transit bureaucracy and general car hate. A reason to not trust "CP".
I thought the people at @TransAlt road their bikes. Oh subways exist too, if the worry was about timing. Maybe those bike lanes, closed streets, and obstructions in the road have created more congestion after all… https://t.co/DnFP62ZnVs
Transit advocates slam New York State for planned larger highways A report by Riders Alliance with Vocal-NY said plans to widen portions of six city highways highways stand in opposition to the state’s climate goals https://t.co/H5AqpRpNeN
Commuter, urban light rail suggested: “What a waste of taxpayer money. Completely impossible boondoggle.” 8 lane highways & driving alone in traffic for 1 hr each way, while it costs a 3 driver household $2700/month to get around: “A wise investment in public infrastructure.” https://t.co/aFmYo6C2GH
