I used it for two weeks daily while there on a work trip. Worked fine, far better than my hometown, which still has a pretty decent system. I’d say its about on par with what you see in Paris.
My brother lived way out in Brooklyn and commuted to Manhattan for decades. Never had a car the entire time. Apparently New York’s public transportation isn’t a big issue.
Don’t put the cart before the horse. The Wikipedia article says that “The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) estimates $15 billion in available capital will be generated by bonding revenues from the tolls, which will be available to fund repairs and improvements to the subway, bus, and commuter rail systems.”
Yeah that’s a good point. Also, the congestion pricing could fund improvement to public transport And motivate a change in perspective for the residents.
Wendover productions did an interesting video on this recently.
Public transportation in the USA sucks shit and it should be improved before unleashing a congestion toll.
Mass transit in Manhattan, and NYC as a whole, is actually a very good system, that just needs upgrades.
It’s a good system in terms of “if you look at the map and see all the places it goes”. You ever use it daily though?

I take it you’ve never heard of new york, then?
NYC has one of the biggest public transportation systems ever built
