The point of congestion pricing is to reduce car traffic, air pollution illnesses/deaths, pedestrian injuries/deaths, etc. The fact that it can also pay for the subways is just an ancillary benefit.

The Dodgers actually got their name from the high rate of pedestrian fatalities in NYC, albeit from trolleys.

Traffic has been causing problems in NYC for over a century.
