Reply to comment by jumbod666 in MTA Pushes Congestion Pricing Back to Second Quarter of 2024 by perspicatic

Shouldn’t the decrease in traffic improve the efficiency of distribution to the point where congestion pricing is evened out? Besides, an extra $20 on an entire truck probably carrying a hundred times more than that worth of goods probably makes just a dent.

Yes. Making the city more friendly to logistical/delivery vehicles will improve speed of delivery, as well as vastly improve emergency services.

$20 per day. And that’s if they don’t leave the area. If a driver leaves and has to come back for a customer that opens later, that’s another fee. Logistics isn’t cut and dry usually.

It is tiered, so it well more than $20. Come on, you have to be smarter than this. It is a cash grab that will fix nothing. A hidden tax.
