After last night’s debacle, this is now. You can’t push people to public transportation only to have it be entirely unreliable. And again, congestion pricing will do zero to help NJ Transit. So unless they’re going to make it a unified regional system, it won’t help us.

And leaving your office to get to the train and then working on the train is not realistic. You can't work until the train gets out of the tunnel into NJ, so between leaving to catch the train until you can work is 30-40 minutes if there are no delays. Meanwhile, everyone is waiting on you.

Sometimes they work until 12-1am. They do not know how the night will go until they are there. It is a news organization. Work ends when it's finished.

Trains and buses to NJ don't run 24 hours a day. The last one of my trains leave at 1am. Sometimes he works later than that. And if he misses the 12:05 and has to sit in Penn station until 1am, that doesn't sound like a great option.

Lincoln tunnel is another $15+ a day, plus gas, plus wear and tear on the car. Plus, if you work until midnight, mass transit isn't really an option. I understand wanting to lessen cars in Manhattan, but this will hurt a lot of people.
