im not familiar with the city but i feel public transit would stay just as shitty?

i feel like this will be carbon tax all over again.

NYC practically has the best public transportation in America. Maybe by the standards of other countries it isn’t great, but there is a reason NYC has the lowest car ownership rate in the country.

That's crazy, but kind of makes sense, you can go practically anywhere by public transport. How do you (or they) identify in a country that relies so much on drivers licences, tho?

We have state ID cards for those who do not have a driver's license or cannot get one for whatever reason.

I've been only once to NYC, but I don't have particular complains about its public transport. How well it spends the money is gonna be hard to guess without looking at actual data.

I feel the same about Carbon tax, I guess time will tell.
