around 15 years ago NY passed a law for a new tax on property transfers to fund the MTA. the MTA is still going bankrupt and now they're looking for another tax. if congestion pricing passes they will be looking for a new MTA tax in another 15 years because the MTA takes on expensive projects they can't afford and allows the core of the system to stagnate and rot

half of those are TL&C ride shares and yellow cabs, then trucks and then the leftover 1/4 to 1/3 are actual private cars
