Since New York City introduced congestion pricing in January 2025, the state has heralded significant reductions in traffic and rush hour delays, fewer crashes and noise complaints, and toll revenue projected to hit $500 million by the end of the year.
That’s like saying “I sure didn’t notice climate change, because it was cold when I visited Texas”
Normally I’d agree with you, but I’ve been traveling to NYC once or twice a year for the past 8 years, was there for 5 days, and only had issues on the most recent trips.
So you had one, subjectively bad personal experience and that somehow disproves or discredits an empirical scientific study ?
Two, actually. And they were almost a year apart. And it didn’t happen in Brooklyn, only in Manhattan.
I’m obviously not discrediting the study, only stating that I didn’t notice a difference. Clearly 20% cleaner is not enough for me. 
Your quote made me instantly angry, so, well done.
