as posted by the channel

New Yorkers lose around 117 hours a year in traffic in Lower Manhattan. Now, New York City is turning to congestion tolls—like the ones seen in London and Singapore— to help unclog the roads by charging drivers to enter busy parts of the city. That means you’ll soon have to pay to drive in Manhattan’s Central Business District. But can congestion tolls reduce traffic, and will we see them in other parts of America?

I'm George Downs, a WSJ video journalist fascinated by how technology is changing how we get from A to B. If you're interested in the future of mobility or how modern transportation—from EVs to eVTOLs, and beyond— can impact our lives, then don't forget to subscribe.
