It’s a tariff on DRIVING in Manhattan, the place in America you least need to drive.

You have never tried to leave the city for the suburbs after 9 pm. Driving is still immensely useful, as I sit in my Uber on the way home.

The $9 toll made it worth your money to Uber instead? Seems like your suburb isn't very far. Maybe a train could help you out.

It sounds like the problem is living in the suburbs.

How are you crashing out over a $9 toll while using a mode of transport that's (conservatively) 3x more expensive to commute just one way? Good grief lmao
