"With less than a day to go before drivers began to pay a peak toll of $9 to enter Manhattan below 60th Street, tensions are high. There's a public hysteria surrounding the new congestion pricing, with businesses claiming rising costs and unions threatening to transfer employees out of the toll zone. Despite these claims, a large majority of commuters into the area use public transit, not personal vehicles."
"The union representing EMTs in Manhattan argues that the toll fees essentially make it impossible for them to afford working in the city. But it's important to note that this claim comes from only a small percentage of the FDNY's total EMS workforce. Most of their members work elsewhere and are likely to rely on public transit."
