NYC is so fucking hostile that even if they did implement those things, absolutely no one would use them. Half of it wouldn't fit in the part of Manhattan that has congestion pricing anyway.

What actually causes congestion is a shit ton of cars trying to kill each other to get 5ft ahead of the next guy while competing with box trucks and ebikes for the only lane that isn't blocked by a double parked cop car.
