A couple of other big headlines we're following tonight.

First, it's been just over a week since congestion pricing took effect, charging new Jersey drivers $9 to enter Manhattan lower than 60th Street.

Well, yesterday, MTA leaders at the Metropolitan Transportation Authority offered up some data on what they saw in the first week, and the results seem significant.

Somewhere around 8% fewer cars entering the central business district that's lower Manhattan.

And that reduction meant faster travel times for the cars and busses that were there.

Looking at the Holland Tunnel, travel times dropped 65% compared to the same time period last year and a 40% drop on the eastbound Lincoln Tunnel, meaning busses traveled through seven minutes faster.

The reduction in car traffic has meant an increase in ridership on MTA busses throughout the city.

It's been a great week in traffic, a great week for New York.

There are thousands of new Jersey transit bus riders that depend on the free flowing Lincoln Tunnel, and assume that this has made a big difference to them.
