Congestion pricing now affects all ride services in Manhattan, with taxis charging an extra $0.75 and Uber/Lyft users paying $1.50 per trip within the zone.
While taxis will experience a smaller surcharge, this is due to their more frequent trips and reduced idling times compared to Uber and Lyft services.
The effectiveness of the congestion pricing plan in improving air quality and infrastructure funding remains uncertain, despite being the primary goals of its implementation.
Public officials hope this plan will not deter customers from the struggling yellow cab industry, which serves as a significant point of concern amid the pricing changes.
