New York City plans to implement a $40 congestion tax for commuters using the George Washington Bridge in 2024, in addition to gas and parking fees. The issue of fare evasion on public transit has sparked controversy, with some arguing that it unfairly burdens others who pay the congestion tax. Critics also claim that the transit system has become more dangerous since the congestion tax was passed in 2019, with the MTA mandating a $15 daily fee to avoid potential violence.
This is wild! Well designed paper with very large Swedish lottery dataset strongly indicates that giving people money does not lower criminality. https://t.co/nJbo9klBxo
Congestion taxation was passed in 2019, in the same legislative session as bail reform. The NYC transit system is irrefutably more dangerous today than it was in 2019. The MTA mandates that you must to pay $15 per day if you want to avoid this increased violence. https://t.co/9Aq8eYEulU

20M people in the NYC DMA. Another 60M visit per year. Somehow transit fetishists seem to know the individual circumstances of every single one of these people and what mode of transport they should use to enter the congestion taxation fiefdom.
Fare evasion is not a minor issue, it is costing others the "congestion" pricing tax, which is a major tax. Fight it brutally. This is not about encouraging people to "not take cars," this is others paying for fare evasion. Say it! https://t.co/874oWV9pRZ
You can’t calculate the value of a fare evasion crackdown by looking at the number of people they arrested!! This is obvious!!!! Has everyone lost their mind. https://t.co/KZe6VDEeK0
If you commute, want to see a doctor, or grab dinner in New York City, get ready to pay $40 to go over the GWB in 2024 — in addition to gas and parking. Yes, a $40 Congestion Tax! https://t.co/Trqi6g6z8S
