Congestion charging failed to improve travel speeds in NYC:

@711_Joseph @Willob Last week I arrived at the 6 pm student Mass five minutes late and was directed to the 7 pm at Old St Pats because St Joseph's was literally full to overflowing.

[2thegreat @2thegreat166318]

@Willob I have been attending the 6 pm for years. Starting about a year ago it began filling up and last week those arriving after about 6:05 were directed to the 7 pm at Old St Pats because the church was literally full.

@nicolegelinas @MetOpera Met is great but for the bar which is agonizingly slow, overpriced and feels cheap.

@anishmoonka Great post. Can you help us with the math behind the 4x here?

"85% of the healthy group still carried their children's cells. Only 64% of the breast cancer group did. That works out to about 4x lower odds of getting breast cancer if you kept those cells."

@PhilSustainable Do you have public data on traffic speeds WITHIN the zone? Your conclusion is based on an assumption that cannot be proven at the moment.

[2thegreat @2thegreat166318]

@peterpeirce @PolicyEngineer It turns out in this case the underlying cause was street redesign. Congestion charging has not reduced traffic within the zone.

[2thegreat @2thegreat166318]

@PolicyEngineer Most impressive: they reduced car trips into the zone but failed to reduce traffic (measured by speed of travel) within the zone.

@chris_kratovil I think that just changed my life.

@NYGovPress @nytimes 😀

[2thegreat @2thegreat166318]

@GovKathyHochul There has been no public data released that shows traffic WITHIN the zone is down (i.e. that speeds WITHIN the zone are up) which was the primary stated purpose of the program.

@dmtrubman I helped raise money for the renovation many years ago. My opinion is that they simply raised too much money. From their public filings, courtesy of Gemini:

@TahraHoops Nope.

@RezaC1 That was a helpful link, thanks. Note the WHO guideline is for 24 hour mean exposure, so your "9x higher than WHO safety limits" only applies to Charlie on the MTA.

They made a very awesome calculator. You can estimate your own exposure per journey here:

@Joeinblack Yes gossip is a "defining sin that tears churches apart" but "Psst did you know those guys over there are engaging in gossip?" is not a good look.
