It bugs me when screenshots are posted by themselves.
Here's 10 min of work getting all sources in the screenshot.
Reddit - r/NewYorkCity
X - ScooterCasterNY
Youtube - FredomNews.TV

In the video clip, the guy explains he's not paying to go 18 blocks. He's paying because the one-way streets force him to go south one block, charging the $9, before he can go anywhere north. That is understandably annoying.

Yes but he's a multimillionaire so that makes his complaint irrelevant.

He chooses to pay a congestion fee to travel because he's wealthy.

He's mad because he's a CEO and probably believes from the bottom of his heart that he shouldn't have to pay that fee the way everyone else does.

To quote Immortal Technique "only little people pay all these taxes fees."

He gets charged every time he moves his car?

  1. Yes cars cost money to maintain.
  2. Is there a camera pointed at his car or something? Ready to swipe his credit card as soon as anything happens to the car?

2 is actually true in this scenario

No, the toll gets charged only once per day.

There are some issues with the way they've implemented congestion pricing, in my infrequently-visits-NYC mind, but this complaint is outside of them.
