Interesting, this could favor alternative means of transport.

Most drivers will be charged $9 once per day to enter the congestion zone at peak hours, and $2.25 at other times. Small trucks and non-commuter buses will pay $14.40 to enter Manhattan at peak times, while larger trucks and tourist buses will pay a $21.60 fee.

The charge has been met with plenty of opposition, including from taxi drivers' associations. But its most high-profile opposition has come from Trump, a native New Yorker who has vowed to kill the scheme when he returns to office this month. Local Republicans have already asked him to intervene.

This is great, hopefully other cities are paying attention

Politicians found another way to reach into people’s wallets. Another thing that is going to hurt the lower and middle classes above everyone else too.

Nice job, New York. Always looking out for the little man your wallet.
