I’d be for this if there was any real assurance that the money would actually go to improving the public transit system. NYC transit is really not at the level it should be compared to other cities of its size and wealth.
Plus the prices on other entries has kept going up over the years but nothing ever really improves from your average commuter’s experience.
Knowing NYC politics, I’m really skeptical that the majority of the money raised wouldn’t just kind of dissolve away into the ether.

I obviously want every cent to go to the MTA.
But even if they never saw a dime it would be a win. Fewer cars downtown is better for everyone. Less expensive road maintenance, for example.
