Eventually Jersey commuters will get bored of being outraged and will start driving their cars again once they see how much better traffic is now.
Of course, once everyone starts doing that, traffic will go back to being shit, but by that point congestion pricing is no longer new and everyone will adopt an "it is what it is" attitude like they have with everything else that's horrible about the city.
The city government will make an absolute killing off of this, and approximately $0 of said killing will be invested back into the subway.
And more cities will start doing this. And none of the money will ever be invested into anything. It will all go directly into politicians' pockets. And you will all cheer for it like monkeys.
