(New York, NY) — MTA leaders are meeting today in Manhattan to figure out the tolls for congestion pricing, and how much to raise subway, train and bus fares. Cab drivers say they should be exempt from any new congestion tolls. Since 2019, drivers pay $2.50 per trip in a congestion surcharge on every taxi ride south of 96th Street in Manhattan. Drivers say they will go broke if they are hit with any more congestion pricing tolls. The MTA could set up the tolling system as soon as the Spring of 2024.
