Congestion Pricing’s Big Winner?
Bus Riders

Buses move faster in and around New York City ever since congestion pricing kicked in — spurring MTA officials to tweak some route schedules.

You know, we could do Congestion Pricing in Los Angeles.

**ducks**

How about at least a network of bus lanes?

@danwentzel
LA folk could at least stop mocking anyone who rides your light rail. It's great, but there's a palpable stgma. People could push back.

@danwentzel I feel like congestion pricing would break LA. the city lacks an easily definable core. if you did downtown, i would think a lot of people would just stop going there...
