Millions?

"In New York City, fewer than one in 20 working residents drives into the intended congestion charging zone, but they know who they are and are not shy about protecting their self-awarded entitlement to a toll- free commute."

Driving (and parking) space in Manhattan are very scarce commodities, and they should be priced to reflect that.
