The morning commute into Manhattan is getting shorter for most people, with travel times down on most major crossings after the start of New York City’s congestion pricing toll earlier this month.
Average morning travel times into Manhattan fell by nearly half on the Holland Tunnel, which connects New Jersey to lower Manhattan, and by 30% on both the Queensboro Bridge and the Williamsburg Bridge, which links Brooklyn to the island, according to data from the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, which runs the city’s transit system and is implementing the new toll.
