As someone who was just in Jersey and NYC a few months ago, allow me to tell you that it didn't fix shit. Traffic is still gawd awful. I don't consider the government fining people for going to work a positive thing either. FYI, this is why all the major corporations are pushing for a return to the office. The government gives them big tax breaks for maintaining a minimum occupancy, and then the government make a bunch of money on tolls, traffic tickets, sales tax, parking, etc. The corporations and the government make lots of money, and it all comes out of our pockets. Neat! Right?
