hey we'll take some calls 800 three two one zero seven ten is the number 800 321 0710 let's go to uh michael and tribeca

michael how you doing yeah uh good morning morke thank you uh the congestion pricing thing you know

my home is about five blocks away from the exit of the Holland Tunnel.

Yeah. And when I go and park my car, it's a quarter mile away up on the pier. I'm not going

anywhere further than from the tunnel exit to my home back to the pier. And I'm being surcharged

and $9 for congestion pricing.

This is something why I'm not voting for these people so nicely here.

No, you're absolutely right. That's totally ridiculous that you have to pay that.

You know, the worst one is if you come to Manhattan from Queens and you take the 59th Street Bridge.

Let's say you're coming into Manhattan, 59th Street Bridge,

but you're not going into Midtown.

You're going to the Upper East Side.

So as you come off the bridge, you get on that ramp that takes you around on a curve to First Avenue.

And then you leave a gulp uptown but apparently that curve for about three feet of that curve is like hanging over Midtown just

over 60th so you're gonna get charged the congestion pricing even though you're

never actually going into Midtown you're coming over the bridge and you're up on that elevated ramp you're never even on the even though you're never actually going into Midtown. You're coming over

the bridge and you're up on that elevated ramp. You're never even on the ground. So you're going

over the bridge from Queens to the Upper East Side, never intending to go into Midtown. You will still

get charged the $9. It's just insane. It's absolutely ridiculous. Now they're putting up these

speed cameras all over Manhattan.

So you're contradicting yourself. First, you claim there's congestion. Then how did,
