60% of people commuting to Manhattan use public transport.

And the percentage driving into this slice of Manhattan, which is probably among the most transit dense in the world, is likely even tinier.

For context, the highest congestion pricing toll is equivalent to 2 hrs of subsidized metered on street parking in this area.

The idea that the $9 congestion price is regressive needs to eliminate the 60% of people who don’t drive into the area at all.
