38% of Valley of Death. Thoughts on that? Yeah, I mean, congestion pricing is working and people can see it with their eyes track congestion is down. Traffic speeds to travel into the city are up. 12% more people on the buses. 8% more people on the subways. Buses are moving faster. My favorite stat, 45% fewer complaints about noise from traffic in the congestion zone since congestion pricing went into effect. (15:56–15:59)
