This seems like a step on the path towards better public transportation because that's what the toll money is supposed to get used for. However, tolls are a bit regressive since it's going to be the poorer people who opt not to pay, leaving richer people the ability to drive.
Tolls are regressive, yes, but it’s Manhattan. You don’t need a car. Also, people need to stop driving for the sake of our planet. Sometimes sin taxes work
Ackshually, the majority of people driving into Manhattan are not poor. The toll would have had minimal effect on "poor people."
