ahhhh bloomberg succeeds at alienating the average joe even more in nyc *sigh* nobody wonders why he's only marginalized those above the divider street from not weatlhy to richest neighborhoods in nyc), its sad![]()
my poor father's work is going to be effected in a very bad way![]()
I was against it too. The only reason I thought it was a good idea was helping the pollution problem. Also, with how expensive public transportation is becoming, 8 dollars to get into the city doesnt seem so expensive. If you drive in, you'll probably be there a few hours, travelling around the city. Jumping back and forth on the train would end up costing that much or even more. So it didnt make complete sense to me...I dunno. I drive to my job on 14th street everyday so its going to suck to have to pay to go to work. Luckily, parking on the street isnt hard there...

he works in a service van throughout manhattan, the depot is in the bronx & then he drives down into the city everywhere~obviously his company would have to pay the toll~but that's going to be a LOT and that may mean cuts and stuff, overall not good~![]()

Its good to know that it does work in other places. I hope it has the effect he thinks its going to have here.

All I can say is they have a similar law in London - and its amazing. virtually no traffic. So cab and bus rides are a lot shorter, easier to cross streets, etc.
Def tru about the trains though, they are already crowded enough as it is. Espeically with all the new building they are doing (i.e. LIC) they need another train line !!!

ok at first i was VERY happy about it, something needs to be done because traffic is getting out of control. To get to work i either take the LIRR from my house or if i stay by FH's house i take the 'N' from ditmars but alot of times we drive to his companies office(which he doesnt really work out of) in LIC and i take the 7 train from there, anyways the traffic to get there is horrible bc we pass by the traffic getting on the 59th street bridge...but just in general traffic is bad.
THEN they mentioned how over crowded the trains will get now, meanwhile its bad enough. This will effect my commute more bc i dont drive into the city but i take the train. Now im worried about how bad the trains will get![]()

This will not be fun on the trains anymore.![]()
Im glad that I can either take the bus or walk .
i hope they DON'T copy everything London does!!!! London residents pay a tax just to have a television in their homes!!!!! If I have to pay a tax for that I'll be poooo'ed!
