They’re implementing congestion pricing (similar to London, Singapore, Milan) in the urban core, and using the money raised to pay for NYC’s expansive public transit system.

no: U worked on this project for several years.

Not only does it exclude Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx and Staten Island but it leaves off a good portion of Manhattan. That's like saying the U.S. is made up of MAGAts and not mentioning that the vast majority of the country are not.

At least they tell the truth in the body of the video but that doesn't excuse the misleading Title.

Whatever intent you want to attribute to it doesn't make it any more accurate. The headline is intentionally misleading simply to generate clicks and revenue.

When Fox News does this, we throw a fit. Maybe we should be better than Fox News.

and I can't wait for this to go into affect. The traffic here is terrible and it's the worst air on the planet. I just don't think they should charge delivery trucks.
