First congestion pricing scheme in the US begins in New York City
Behind the political fight over the new tolling program is a deepening crisis in the transportation system in New York City and around the country for which neither political party has an answer.World Socialist Web Site

"Fundamentally, it represents an attack on the working class by imposing a regressive tax that will have the biggest impact on drivers least able to afford it. The working class will be priced out of the same transportation options as wealthier residents or be forced to make big financial sacrifices elsewhere."
He probably just lives in New Jersey and doesn't want to use public transportation.
You want to know the real tax on the working class? A $40K used car being required just to get to work. People who live in densely populated areas having to pay more for housing because so much space is given up for cars. People breathing poison gas so some entitled prick doesn't have to sit on a train with poor people. Even if you pay the car off, you still have to pay for insurance registration and fuel. If the car isn't paid off but you are laid off, the payments are still due. That's what screws the working class.
