Easy for you to say that being out in North Dakota.First of all, Cuomo is not only talking about penalizing drivers, but those who use Uber as well, because any increased charges will be passed along to the consumer. Forcing Uber users into the subways will further overcrowd them and increase delays. Increasing bus service also increases traffic congestion. Cuomo's assumption by penalizing driving assumes that the CBD is the only area plagued with traffic congestion when in reality there is more congestion outside of the CBD than within it. I once drove in to midtown at 6 PM on a weekday and experienced no traffic congestion, but got stuck for 45 minutes on a single block on Second Avenue without moving on a Saturday night at 10 PM when returning from Upstate when the FDR was delayed. Point is you can't always predict when and where traffic congestion will occur. Cars with a registered off-street parking place still requires a parking space at the destination. Some have little choice but to drive and the incentives to not bringing your car into the CBD are already high. The $50 fee you propose will be paid by the super rich. The others will reconsider if it is still worth it to live and work inside the city and will leave eroding the tax base. |
