No mention of the limos and taxis that cruise, honk and grid lock so luxuriously throughout the town.
Surely this means that once again, the City will take a dump on Harlem. As many drivers will find their way around the $8 charge.
I've asked before and I'll ask again can New York City learn from Paris. I'll answer. Yes, indeed. In 2006 Paris and other cities of France installed an electric tram to pick up passengers on the outskirts of the city. The tram is seen as "a symbol -- of Delanoe's campaign to make driving in the capital so miserable that people will leave their cars at home."
Within the United States my hometown, Houston, finally put up a light rail and prohibits traffic from the downtown to medical center. Bravo! Park and ride has been growing strong through the years. I was walking to the park and ride in 1972 where were you?
Many in the Houston area do the right thing. Though they don't have the luxury of a billion dollar federally funded transit system like New York City, Houston citizens strive daily to add and use park and rides in their community. Sure wish New York City would get it. It is about doing the right thing. Not thinking you are above everyone else. Sure the penalty of doing the right thing in New York City is very unrefined merde that you must step around over and over again. However, if everyone does the right thing the service will have to get better.
Yes, NYC has spared the driver and boiled the poor pedestrian instead. Runover by bicyclists who know not where they go and masses of people in the subway who haven't bothered to figure out how to get where they are to go. Blocked from taking the walk sign at least two times in a row on a daily basis. So that's why they call the avenue Mad-ison. Cigarettes thrown in their face and on the ground before them. Its chaos and to tell you the truth, a limo driver honked at me the other day. He was gridlocking, running a redlight and I was taking the walk. I did tell him off. Frankly I've had it. I'll start calling in licenses of those who gridlock and honk for undue reason and taking pictures of the people who throw their cigarettes. I hope all walkers will do the same.
Charging taxes and fines to aid people in their habit will never be a good thing. When the people give up their habit then the taxer and finer try to get them back in the habit. How about people just stop spending and do the right thing. Why do you have to be so neurotic? Both sides gov and addict are totally and utterly neurotic.
