The first congestion charge scheme for vehicles in the US has come into effect in New York.
Car drivers will pay up to $9 (£7) a day, with varying rates for other vehicles.

Driving into NYC from NJ sucks already. I try to never do it. Also the toll is already like $15 so what is a few more dollars? I don’t know why anyone would want to drive in NYC.
There was already a congestion charge, you just pay for it with your time. Now people who have the money get it easier to drive around.
