NYC cab drivers squeezed out by congestion pricing can become bus drivers, MTA saysBy David Meyer
August 21, 2022
Taxi and for-hire vehicle drivers put out of work by Manhattan congestion pricing could be given special preference for jobs as MTA bus drivers, transit officials said.
Several pricing schemes under consideration for the congestion tolls would dent revenues in the immigrant-dominated for-hire industry, according to the MTA’s preliminary environmental review released earlier this month.
The scenarios range from exempting for-hire cars completely, to charging them $9 to $23 for every trip inside the Central Business District, which would cover 60th Street and all the roadways south of it.
