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.

    Sigh, mass transit will benefit you as well, it means that more people will use it rather than taking the car, thus reducing traffic in general.

    Taxes are also often used to change behaviors in the population, by adding taxes like these, cities have been known to try and reduce pollution and congestion making the area less harmful.

    TL;DR: Congestion charges are annoying, but in the end will benefit you as well.
