36,000 / 3 shifts = 12,000 / 5 boroughs (& only ½ of Manhattan); let’s say 2000; not all of them drive & some carpool so let’s say 1200 cars, going to multiple precincts in different parts of lower Manhattan. The city streets can handle that volume; I hardly think that’s a disproportionately large number of automobiles in NYC.
Then why do you need a congestion charge at night if it’s not so congested & there’s no public transit? That just shows this is a money grab.
Are you offering up the $18/trip in tolls to avoid Manhattan?
& if the MTA was to clean up their own corruption, waste, & excessive costs they’d have the vast, vast majority if not more than the $1 billion this was required to raise w/o any new tolls…$690 lost to turnstyle jumpers alone last year!
