I see. So, they can break the law because they choose to drive into the city and don’t want to pay for it?

Where did I tell them to break the law? How about some more economical pricing for daily commuters? An efficient route? Removal of unnecessary fees just because you were short of 50 cents? Where did I mention anything about driving into the city? When tolls exist within borough to borough. If you live in the east Bronx, you’re not driving through the city tolls to go to Long Island. You’re going through RFK or Whitestone. Not everything revolves around the city as a whole. Long Island city and Staten Island still exists if you’ve resided in nyc fair enough to know. You’re picking and choosing what you want to argue about.Introduce better/economical practices = less evasion. Everyone downvoting has no sense of logical arguments, just “YOU’RE SO WRONG”, no counterarguments, no sense of understanding a fairground.

Did I accuse you of telling them to break the law? No, I didn't, but they are breaking the law and you're trying to justify it.

There are inter-borough routes without tolls. There is also public transit. They may not like the choices, but they're there.

There are solutions that don't amount to everyone else subsidizing car ownership for people who decide they shouldn't have to pay because they're special.

The convenient route is either worth a few bucks or it's not. I don't know why that's everyone else's problem.
