Before this tax, the tradeoff was convenience of car vs massive gridlock. Now it's convenience of car vs small fee.

I'd pick the latter. Imagine if you're in a traffic jam, and someone said you could get out of it for $8. Sounds good to me.

But $8 a day dounds like a lot, doesn't it? How many people go shopping every day? It only really adds up for commuters, who are the biggest target for moving to public transportation.
