New York City will charge drivers going downtown. Other cities may be next

In the US, vehicle usage is extremely higher than appropriate level. But, I rarely see chronic traffic jam is medium-big cities. That's because so many roads are built to live up to the demand. The biggest issue I feel in the current situation is that people in poverty flock to public transportation, and gives wealthier people the impression that public transportation is dangerous. Especially, men sleeping on subway train all the day must give them such an impression. So, I think that the number of policemen monitoring the train should be increased to remove such an impression..
