do we think this guy from New Jersey would have driven his pickup truck to Manhattan to get drunk had there been a $15 congestion pricing fee in place?

The killer is from my town. More specifically Monmouth Junction, a neighborhood named for its decommissioned train station on the Northeast Corridor

From there, he could have easily driven to New Brunswick or Princeton Junction and taken the train to NYC. Or to North Brunswick and caught the Coach USA bus to Port Authority. Or have just gotten drunk at home.

Maybe. Congestion pricing will recude the number of drivers, but we can't make it reduce the number of assholes A row of bollards on the far side of that manhole cover would've made sure that Daniel Hayden experienced the consequences of his actions alone CP and safe design are both overdue
