The mind set of many New Yorkers is to just suck it up and pay. Until the TA starts making travel with bikes into the city easier I see no great benefit. You cannot bring a bike on a train at rush hour and on off peak times they will allow no more than two and if your lucky three bikes on one train. Like PD parking permits seem to be given out so freely I see exemptions to the tax plan also will be given out the same way. The plan is nothing but a money raising tax that I don't see going to solving anything but pay raises for over paid bureaucrats. It may have worked in London ,and I salute them, but unfortunately folks in England tend to look at things in a different light. Until you change the attitude of drivers into NYC I don't see any change. Mayor Michael needs to look at other way in addition to this one.
