If there were no Ubers/Lyfts, there would absolutely be a lot less congestion.
So put a congestion surcharge on those vehicles of about $1,000/trip and the
money will just roll into the city's coffers. Problem solved!

(BTW, the idea that you can only get an Uber via your phone app is baloney - I
see vehicles marked as Ubers cruising for fares all over Manhattan, especially
at night and especially along bus routes. What they're doing is illegal, but
NYC apparently doesn't care about enforcement when it comes to Uber.)

And if there were no bike lanes, we'd have less congestion, so are the bike
riders also going to pay a congestion surcharge? I think they should.

And is NYC planning to surcharge me, as a pedestrian, for walking down the
street? I mean, heck, I'm taking up valuable space, right?

If nobody ever went anywhere, we'd have no congestion, and NYC would be as
quiet & peaceful as a country lane.

That ""prominent transportation expert"" worked under Mayor Bloomberg, so that
should tell you exactly where he's coming from! And, NY Times, he's already
updated his website to say that the NY Times has referred to him as a
""prominent transportation expert"" - so maybe you should be more careful
before you throw that terminology around. It seems to me that Mr. Schaller is
a legend in his own mind, and a nightmare for real New Yorkers.
