Congestion Tax

The MTA voted to approve 'congestion pricing', a tax that will charge vehicles for entering a large swath of Manhattan in the central business district. Passenger vehicles would be charged $15, trucks would be charged up to $36 depending on size, and motorcycles would be charged $7.50.

Uber has contributed to traffic in highly populated areas. Uber is pushing for the tax that could increase its volume of riders, instead of the alternative of limiting the number of Uber cars allowed in busy area.
