Here in London we've had congestion charging in place for five years, and by and large it seems to have had the intended effect, although of course not everyone is happy. But I have to say, I don't drive, so I only see one side of the argument. Hi Jim,

Why would anyone in their right minds give give millions of dollars to the "cash strapped MTA"? They find millions of dollars every other year they did not know that they had. Just wait till next year, they'll find a few million dollars in a closet somewhere & the problem will be solved. Mayor Bloomberg is such a poor leader that even with his political bribery he could not get this turkey passed. Now he's blaming everyone else for his shortcomings. This plan was only part of a greater plan for cleaning up NY but nobody knows this because Bloomberg does not serve his constituents, he thinks he is a leader. Good riddance to this poorly conceived plan.
