no middle class new yorker is choosing to commute by car to downtown manhattan on the regular, it's the upper class. most new yorkers and almost 80% of manhattan locals don't even OWN a car. this is a win for pedestrians who don't want to be perpetually surrounded by smog and honking overwhelmingly from rich assholes, tourists, and people going to the airport
Nobody is "forced" to drive in Manhattan. Nobody. Anybody who works in Manhattan can take the bus or train in, it has a tremendous amount of transit connections from all areas where people are commuting from. Any worker like a plumber or whatever will have the toll paid for by their company.
that's just not true.. my own experience tells otherwise.. i used to have to cart tons of IT equipment around to our various clients in Manhattan all the way from Purchase.
well.. would you rather pay $50 for the day or $59? sucks ass for folks who are forced to drive in and don't get reimbursed i'm sure

I’d rather take the train
of course, but sometimes its not an option.. like you can't exactly carry a bunch of equipment on the train if your job requires that sort of thing
I'd think that if your job requires that, the company you're working for would be paying that not the driver?
No offense, but you may not be familiar with the dismal state of employment in Amerikkka.
