Wow, as a former NY resident I am not surprised but I am surprised how fast technology is moving, yeah, I know, same thing at the bridges but now driving into Manhattan everyday streets will be a $15 toll.
What does living in Manhattan have to do with it?If you live in Manhattan and own a car you're not exactly poor.
My wife has worked in all these places I haven’t (LA, SF, Chicago, Manhattan for the longest of all). I used to think about what you said….the majority of folks one sees in Manhattan, are from somewhere else, and here for their employment.What does living in Manhattan have to do with it?
People work (approx. 1.5 million people who dont live there), drive though streets all over America. Its doesnt mean they live there. All good. I found it interesting, could care less, another reason I got out of there.
It's all about the technology that I suspect other cities will use as time goes on.
I dont know what it cost to cross anymore, we now live in the land of the free. I do have family who work in the city. Both very young professionals.My wife has worked in all these places I haven’t (LA, SF, Chicago, Manhattan for the longest of all).

I mean even in college it was expensive. I had two friends who lived in a 550 sq ft apt on E 81st St between 1st and York (if this is inaccurate it’s from memory over 30 years ago). It cost them $425/mo due to rent control. To put that into perspective. 10 years later I had my own place in the Philly suburbs for $550/mo. Full price not rent control.
Before the pandemic we used the car pool feature and it only cost $6 to cross the Hudson. I’m talking 2018 I think. What is that now?
Guess what, I learned the hard way around 2015. We used the Henry Hudson Bridge as my mom lives in CT and that can be a big time saver to the GWB over 87S. Used the bridge with NJ E-ZPASS.I dont know what it cost to cross anymore, we now live in the land of the free. I do have family who work in the city. Both very young professionals.
I think the newest pricing is around $11 to cross if no ez-pass. That is EACH way!

It's all about generating income to pay these lucrative pensions of government workers - pay for facial recognition and license plate recognition to catch criminals.What does living in Manhattan have to do with it?

All states seem to do this today to protect their revenue--for example, MD gets the E-ZPass rate only if a MD tag. MD tags were not free when I checked, so I wouldn't sign up just to pay the lower rate.What I think is a turd is I have ohio EZ pass.. you only get a discount on ohio tolls... yet it works all the other places...
If it works why am I not getting the discount rate. (I know the answer)
