Reply to comment by jumbod666 in MTA Pushes Congestion Pricing Back to Second Quarter of 2024 by perspicatic
I’m gonna share your downvotes and agree. Most of the congestion is taxis/ubers but they are exempt from the fees proposed. Majority of parking is for commercial vehicles making deliveries and repairs in the area. Increasing operating costs will trickle down to consumers.
I really believe that fee should be commuter cars only. They can’t legally park unless it’s a private garage. Forcing them to take public transportation… which is where these fees are going.

Ubers and taxi rides are tolled in every scenario, so not sure what you are talking about. They have also been tolled for every pick up and drop off below 96th street for several years.

He means that for-hire vehicles will not be hit with a congestion fee for every fare they take into or out of the congestion zone. That is total bullshit and it’s the main reason why this will have little impact on congestion.

They’re tolled like any other vehicle right now. Are you talking about tlc fees?

Thank you for sharing, I never heard of this. But it’s not exactly a toll. More like a fee..on tlc vehicles.
Also how do you quote something to put in your replies?
jm14ed t1_j9utevv wrote
It is by definition a toll, since it’s a fee to use particular road(s).
The quote something you put ‘>>’ before the text.

It’s not remotely comparable. It’s a $2.75 surcharge.
