Pretty much everything is better except public opinion.

Makes sense! Lol

I had heard it was popular outside of car commuters from outside the city, have you seen reports otherwise?

[–] jagged_circle 16 points 4 weeks ago

Yeah, most people in NYC dont have cars.

The problem isnt the majority opinion. The problem is that rich powerful people have more say in decisions than the majority

The article that we're commenting under said:

Public opinion: Not great, but improving

It's extremely popular with literally every person except for the ones actually paying the toll.

And even half of those can recognize the net positives.

It seems popular among the people I know. The only people complaining are rich folk coming in from NJ or the Hamptons
