[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So does this add $15 to cab/uber fares within the zone?[/quote]

Uber/Lyft, medallion taxis, limos, black cars, etc. have already paid congestion surcharges since 2019:

$2.75 for surcharge in a vehicle that is not a medallion taxicab or a pool vehicle
$2.50 surcharge when the transportation is provided by a medallion taxicab vehicle
$0.75 for each pool trip (ie., Super Shuttle or other airport shuttles, UberPool rides, etc.)

It appears that this new congestion fee (which only applies below 60th Street in Manhattan) would add a new supplemental geography based congestion fee and it only applies during certain hours (M-F 5am-9am, Sat & Sun 9am-9pm)

$1.25 surcharge for medallion taxis. So now the total fees are $3.75 ($2.50 congestion surcharge + $1.25 additional congestion surcharge for below 60th Street)
$2.50 surcharge for other vehicles, including Uber/Lyft. So now the total fees are $5.25 ($2.75 congestion surcharge + $2.50 additional congestion surcharge for below 60th Street)
