If I'm not mistaken there has never been an independent audit of the MTA and the Port Authority of NY/NJ. Millions in corruption would be uncovered. I've never even heard of an attempt to audit them. Political power and corruption at its finest. Congestion pricing here in NYC would not be needed with just 1 audit.


That congestion pricing is a ridiculous idea.

Toll cheaters should have their vehicle confiscated on the spot and put in storage for 30 days.
They can retrieve their vehicle after 30 days by paying a $150 a day storage fee.
They would have only seven days to retrieve there vehicles after those 30 days before the vehicle is put into a shredder.


Why wait 30 days?

The NY MTA (Metropolitan Transit Authority) wants the NYC Marathon to pay $750,000 for the toll money it loses while the Verrazano Bridge is closed for the NYC Marathon. The Marathon begins on Staten Island and covers all five boroughs. They could begin the Marathon in Brooklyn, but that would leave Staten Island out. One thing I liked about the Marathon was that I ran past my old apartment building in Bayridge. They say the Marathon brings over $400 million into the City from the influx of runners and their families.

Late 1970s -

My poor wife and her friend had to leave me off on Staten Island early in the morning. Then they had to drive into Manhattan and find a place to park, all this with my toddler son in a stroller.

Don't ask me my views about what to do with turnstile jumpers.
