To be fair I have a friend who lives in Brooklyn who thinks congestion pricing is a scam and this is a person of moderate means who has a car. She's inclined to blame traffic problems on Uber.

One point she has which is good is that the transit system is not good if you're going perpendicular to the major routes. A 20 minute car ride from Queens to the Bronx turns into an hour and 30 minutes on transit. Of course, it does take funding to improve the service and NYC has a hard time of it because funding for the subway is not controlled by NYC but rather by the state so a lot of upstaters like me who just ride it a few times a year or don't ride it at all have a say in it.
