It'll cost $9 each time. They're raising money for the mass transit system by charging specifically those people who don't use the mass transit system and that feels really unfair to me.

Even in NYC (where driving is particularly slow and mass transit is particularly well developed) it's still usually significantly faster to drive than it is to take mass transit unless you're traveling within Manhattan or between two stops of the same express train. The trips I frequently take are about twice as fast by car as by mass transit, so from my point of view I am forced to take mass transit (when I have nowhere to park at my destination) while people outside the city have the luxury of quickly driving directly from where they are to where they want to be.

I'm not going to get into my opinion of how pleasant (or not) taking mass transit is compared to driving, because that's subjective. However, I will note that according to the MTA's own survey, a little over half of the people who do take mass transit are dissatisfied by it.

Mass transit is necessary here because the city has an old layout not designed for cars and so it wouldn't be able to function if everyone had to drive. That doesn't imply that mass transit is pleasant or convenient. It's just often the only option.

Cities shouldn't be designed for cars. They should be designed for people. I get it. They've added a tax and that's inconvenient. I agree.

I live in a European city with a medieval layout. I'm happy they started banning cars. Our city is more liveable without than with cars.
