Seems like overall it was a good policy, but I have no doubt the NY Times and the researchers here are biased in favor of it. You can only find what you set out to look for.
I hated this policy when it was announced. But I have to admit that I have enjoyed the lighter traffic during the few times I had to drive across town. I didn't mind paying the extra bucks.
