Hochul's administration announced a $9 congestion toll for Manhattan, framing it as a leadership victory, despite the complexity and challenges faced in urban transit improvements.
Despite claiming to support families, Hochul's policies seemingly prioritize drivers, providing them a 40% discount while leaving transit users with unchanged fares and uncertain service improvements.
The anticipated toll revenue loss implies a prolonged timeline for vital transit project enhancements, contradicting Hochul's assertions of effective governance in addressing urban traffic and transit issues.
Hochul's celebration of the new toll overlooks the fact that the majority of commuting workers utilize public transit, raising questions about her support for these essential services.
