Would be nice if they made transit better first instead of making driving worse first.

Driving in New York has been terrible for a century. The only way to make it better is to disincentivize people from doing it by making it more costly and making public transit better. Urban planners have known this is the case since at least the 40s.

Congestion pricing isn't some kind of new punishment. It's a bill, long overdue, finally getting paid (and only partially).

Robert Moses knew it, but that didn't stop him.

And will the drivers be prepared to fund this via another channel?

They already fund it via gas tax, registration fees, regular taxes. Let the public transit takers fund their own improvements.
