They are ringing in the new year with a resolution for more revenue.

A 63-cent hike on the current toll rate for The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey crossings takes effect on Sunday.

The toll for E-ZPass users will increase by 4.3% to $15.38 from $14.75 during peak hours — 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. on weekdays and 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. on weekends

Is this to honor the “public servants, butlers and maids of Jamuberry Sixth?

I ask - no, I demand - that all vehicles carrying illegals into NYC be exempt from this toll.

After all, NYC is a proud sanctuary city. Yes, it’s a crowded one. But it’s a sanctuary city nonetheless.

How many people live in NYC and commute to NJ for work?

Not many. Most of it is the other way round as NJ has long been seen as another “bedroom borough” for NYC.

So twenty work days in the month is three hundred bucks in tolls alone just to drive into the City. Then you have to pay a king’s ransom to park your vehicle in an elevated garage. Hoping nobody rams it.

Those jobs must pay a lot.

You only pay going one direction.

Exactly. That’s what I meant. It pays for the round trip.

I'm sure illegals are exempt once they show their amnesty request letter.

“haha.. take your medicine, New Yuckers.|

Not just New Yorkers, New Jerseyans, and everyone who travels through New Jersey to New England gets gouged. It’s excessive as all of the crossing’s construction costs were paid off decades ago.

That’s $153/week to enter/leave a sh!thole.

No wonder the NE states breed a-holes.

I’m so glad I live in an area with no toll roads or bridges.
