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.

I did notice this news article that mentions:
I’m not familiar with NYC, but isn’t this exactly the opposite of their goals? If you are staying within the congestion zone, you should be taking a different form of transportation. It’s only when leaving that area that you have a (potentially) valid reason to take your own car.
Most congestion pricing schemes rely only on tolling the boundary and generally target central business districts with little internal traffic. The technology is there to install more internal tracking of traffic, but you’d probably push up against privacy groups and the deployment of the tech would be a lot more expensive.
This is kind of where my thinking was at. Although I don’t know how you’d implement taxing that.
Tax it as part of registering your vehicle to an address within the congestion zone.
