Whats concern trolling?

This mechanism allows people with more money to enjoy driving in the city or is this congestion prcing based on your salary? no its not its based on the time in the city independent of what you make.

A person with their high end car and miillions now can buy himself a nice little drive into the city while everyone else can't.

This was already the case in NYC without congestion fees. (For example: https://nypost.com/2025/07/12/us-news/park-slope-parking-spo...)

Now they get to fund public transit a little bit while they do so.
