The idea of congestion pricing would be below 59th Street. Most people who go to work take the train or walk with regards to Midtown/Lower Manhattan; with a percentage taking buses. Buses too, although I do wonder if they would be immune from a city wide congestion charge. MTA buses' that is or NJ Transit...etc..

Arguably buses and trucks are the biggest source of delays. If anything, fines on illegally parked cars/trucks (double parked) would be ideal. All it takes is one. Not even a UPS or FedEX truck, but a simple two door sedan, to cripple a crosstown street (1 way) in Manhattan.

With the outer boroughs, its road construction during the early morning and mid afternoon. They really should do it at night.

But I think most people would take 30 minutes out of their life versus paying 15 or 30 dollars entering the zone; especially after ez-pass on the tunnels.
