Are the funds actually going to public transit, or are they being used to pay off all the people whose support was needed to implement the congestion charges?

The problem is that no one in NYC, rich or poor, has any confidence in the MTA's ability to properly and efficiently use these funds. This stems from a long history of incompetence and wastefulness by the MTA
