It’s going to take a toll.
Many working-class New Yorkers aren’t buying Gov. Kathy Hochul’s pitch for her revamped congestion pricing plan .
The governor’s office cast the $9 daytime base toll — down from $15 as originally — as “putting commuters first,” but Midtown workers who spoke to The Post Thursday said it would still eat into their paychecks and threaten business.
Most were daily commuters into the congestion zone south of 60th Street in Manhattan, which puts them on track to pay roughly $2,300 a year in tolls.
Here’s what they had to say:
Doorman David Viscaino
Congestion pricing could be the straw that breaks the camel’s back twice over for Midtown doorman David Viscaino.
Viscaino, 31, commutes daily from Scotch Plains, New Jersey — a trip that already requires him to pay tolls to drive through the Lincoln Tunnel.
Adding congestion pricing means Viscaino will have to pay double for his 90-minute drive to Midtown and back every Monday through Friday, he said.
