NYC workers, commuters rejoice over Trump’s axing of congestion pricing toll: ‘I’m ecstatic’

'...The transit agency quickly responded by suing to keep the toll in place.

The scheme, which went into effect Jan. 5, irked many blue collar folks — who said they need vehicles for their jobs, or that taking public transit doubles their commuting time. ...'Allison Rivera, 42, who works in a medical office in Manhattan said she’s been forking over $45 a week just to get to her job. “Finally,” she said of the scrapped toll. “It was so unfair to pay an extra $9 to get to work [daily].” Ricky Stevens, 58, who works in a deli in the East Village added, “I didn’t vote for Trump, but he’s doing more for New Yorkers than our governor. Isn’t that sad?”
