I’m at JFK now waiting for my return flight to La. I’ve been attending a conference in NYC since Sunday. It was a great trip. Good food, the city is festive and decorated. Times Square was clean with lots of young families. I didn’t see any homeless in the streets in the Broadway area.

Don't think they have to worry about it. This is targeting people who are going to work in the morning.

Is there an exemption for taxis and ubers? If not you're just sticking it to the working man who is barely scraping by.

700,000 vehicles a day go through the designated congestion zone.

No, I conceded it to progressives 10 months ago and fled the city and state, taking my considerable tax revenue with me. frick Illinois. I'll visit Chicago once a year in the summer, will never move back.

I posted it previously.
Taxis pay $1.25 per ride.
Ride share apps pay $2.50 per ride.

Sounds horrible. Good for them trying something to reduce the car traffic in that area.

Most trucks have no business using Manhattan (below 60th Street) as a cut-through.

Saw that. I sent my response before getting to your post. I think this is just indicative of how it's a money grab and not actually about the volume of traffic. Ubers and taxis reduce the amount of cars out because one car will move dozens of people per day.
And they're still going to raise MTA prices, so they're punishing mass transit use as well.

What about the thousands of supply trucks that are needed across lower manhattan? Sure, long haul trucks aren't cutting through there, but to say "most shouldn't be going there"?

I believe that there are a couple of restaurants and stores in that area of Manhattan that may use delivery trucks though.

Below 60th street.
So, basically, everywhere people work and visit.
