After years of back and forth and legal challenges, the first weekday evening commute with congestion pricing is now underway.

New Yorkers and commuters have mixed opinions about the new toll.

Shamsul Haque of Woodside, Queens, typically commutes to Midtown via car.

“But today I’m taking the train,” Hague told NY1.

His decision to leave the car at home had nothing to do with the weather.

“[It’s] because of the congestion pricing,” Hague said. “It’s a tax on a working-class person like me.”

Instead, he took the subway, as did many others, like Vivian Garcilazo, a performer who lives in East Harlem.

“To come to rehearsal sometimes I have to drive in with props or all kinds of things,” she said. “[The congestion pricing toll] makes it very difficult."

“There are times I’m going to have to drive in,” Garcilazo added. “But it’s a lot. I mean, if you think about $9, that’s a lot every day.”

Charlie Berger commutes between Westchester, Brooklyn and Midtown, and on Monday, he took the Metro-North.

“But many days I take a car in,” Berger said. “And congestion pricing is just another unnecessary tax on New Yorkers.”

He says his train car felt more crowded than usual by about 25%.

Margie Berman of Westchester also got off a Metro North train Monday, but that’s typical for her weekday commute.

However, when it comes to her weekend plans, things will look a bit different.

“I’m likely to be more likely to take the train in on the weekends rather than driving,” German said. “So if I’m going in for a show or to meet friends or for restaurants, it will be in my mind that it’s going to cost more to go in, and it’s already pricey to go in with parking.

NY1 also asked those who regularly take the subway whether train cars felt more crowded than usual, and the vast majority said things felt essentially the same.
