As the first anniversary of congestion pricing approaches on Jan. 5, a federal judge has delayed a ruling on the controversial toll program until next month. The judge set oral arguments for Jan. 28 in the legal battle over the tolls into Manhattan south of 61st Street, according to an article in Bloomberg. The lawsuit centers around the MTA suing President Donald Trump's administration because it is seeking to end the toll program in the city.
London Mayor Sadiq Khan has confirmed that tube fares will be going up significantly next year. The increase of almost six percent is the result of an official order from the government that told TfL it should increase prices by the RPI rate of inflation plus one percent every year until 2030, in order to receive a £2.2 billion boost.
