Do people think we're all on the road, at the same time, going to the same place, just to be annoying?
Also, if they do try this, trade and service vehicles should be exempt, otherwise it will be just another cost to pass on to the client.
Add an exception for people carpooling and require that funds raised by the congestion toll support public transit options.
There's literally nothing wrong with this - just pass it on.
You'll make it out ahead on the time savings alone, which you as someone who necessarily must travel by car will stand to gain the most from.
Fuck right off. Also, tradies don't work at an office, you do understand that right?
You clearly have no idea how most trades work, so let me clue you in.
First, most trades get the materels they need directly from a wholesaler, not from an office or depot. Why have stock on hand when your guys can just buy what they need directly?
Second, most trades don't start and finish the day at a depot or office, they drive from home directly to site. I've gone over a month without visiting the office before.
Third, a plumbing company will typically have multiple plumbers, and will try and limit the driving they do anyway, because they pay by the hour.
Finally, why are you talking about New York City? Why not use a local example?
