Manhattan driving with congestion pricing , Jan 2025

Post by abscate »

Had to go to the Chinese Consulate for business visa renewal, 12th avenue and 42 street.

Last week, NYC slapped a $10 charge to drive onto Manhattan, and anecdotes were that driving was much easier.

Well, it was absolutely true. No gridlock, 90 minute trip, traffic filled no more that half the space between lights.

Snapped a few pics using Siri for safety
