Congestion pricing advocates, including Gersh Kuntzman, editor-in-chief of Streetsblog, are urging the MTA board to disregard Gov. Kathy Hochul's last-minute attempt to derail the Manhattan congestion plan.

But Kuntzman does not expect MTA CEO Janno Lieber, who on Monday expressed frustration and disappointment in his first public remarks, to diverge from the governor’s stance.

"He’s not going to have the MTA board overthrow Governor Hochul’s decision. He has to run the subway system," Kuntzman said during an interview on "Mornings on 1" Tuesday.

He also said any plan to raise subway fares or cut service to make up for what the tolling program would have brought in a “class war.”

"If you change that formula of how you're going to fund the MTA, it's basically class warfare if you think about it. So, if now you're gonna raise fares or cut service, which is essentially the same thing, you're ruining the experience for the lower income people at the expense of higher income people. That's class war,” he said.

While critics express concerns about the MTA’s ability to wisely spend congestion pricing funding, Kuntzman defended the agency's track record and pointed out that New Yorkers rely on the MTA to move around the city.

"The majority of New York City households do not have access to a car. You're hearing people internalizing their oppression. Nobody asked us when millions of car drivers brought their vehicles into the city, because they're the ones who are congesting the streets,” he said.

Kuntzman said he will continue to push for congestion pricing:  "I don’t want to get used to living in a city that is completely inundated by cars.”
