MTA Trolls Trump After Rant On NYC Congestion Pricing

“I can’t believe that New York City is instituting Congestion Pricing, where everyone has to pay a fortune for the ‘privilege; of coming into the City, which is in desperate trouble without it. It is a big incentive not to come – there are plenty of other places to go.

“It’s been a failure everywhere it has been tried, and would only work if a place were HOT, HOT, HOT, which New York City is not right now.

“What office tenant or business would want to be here with this tax. Hopefully, it will soon be withdrawn!” – Trump, who you’d think has bigger concerns these day.

And contrary to Trump’s claim, congestion pricing has been considered a success in cities such as London, Singapore, and Stockholm.

the MTA’s response to Trump’s congestion pricing post:

“Once streets are less congested the former president’s SUV should be able to get to the courthouse faster, or he can use mass transit like millions of hardworking New Yorkers do every day”
