[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I live downtown if true I would move to MD or VA. I'm not sure why DC thinks this is even remotely ok when the friggin metro barely works. Not everyone Ubers. [/quote] 1. Moving to Md or Va won't help you if you work in DC. The congestion charge presumably would not only apply to DC residents 2. Plenty of people do take metro. And yes, it mostly works. Its safe, and IMO not really less reliable than the roads. 3. People also take buses into dowtown DC 4. People bike and scooter into downtown DC 5. People carpool in - that could be exempt from the charge, and if not, you would split the charge, making it not much of a burden. 6. OTOH if you uber, the charge probably would be passed on to you. One benefit of this would be making all those Ubers pay for the congestion they are causing. 7. Its just a study. [/quote]
