whether car or truck (motorbikes are exempt, and residents in the area get a 90% discount). That's about $19.

The London charge applies to any vehicle trip within the zone.

So it doesn't matter if you go in, come back out, go in again, come back out, all on the same day - it's £15. If you mean "if someone enters lower Manhattan on Monday, and stays there overnight, and then leaves on Tuesday, that's just one charge", OK, and in London, it'd be £30, though not that many non-residents will park there overnight - expensive in its own right, typically.

So that makes a lot of difference. If a lower Manhattan resident drives out once a week, do they have to pay to get back in?

So if I move my car for alternate side that is exempt? The 90% reduction in London is a tax credit at the end of the year, they bill them all year and residents have to file to get it back. I'm not happy getting wacked to plug a hole in the state budget to find the very mismanaged MTA. I already pay an extra state income tax surcharge just for being a Manhattan resident. This 'fee' is a regressive flat tax.

Stating it was corporate greed to gouge consumers who wanted to eat there during normal lunch and dinner times.

How is this any different?

Might have to use mass transit for deliveries.

Add to which, the number of people ordering food from OUTSIDE the zone to be delivered INSIDE the zone is minimal.

In that case, they are already there and wouldn't be paying it. They probably like having less congestion for their deliveries anyway.

I've only been to NYC once and that was 30 years ago. I always thought that area was a relatively expensive part of the city to live in. My mistake.

As a half-breed New Yorker who spent a lot of my childhood, and 2009-2021, in The City…about freakin' time!

Almost no vehicles need to be in that zone. Taxis and Ubers, sure, but the endless stream of trucks on Canal HAS to stop, and don't even get me started on CPW during a weekday rush hour.

feel this but $75 a week/ $300 a month / $3600 a year is a big chunk of change for working class people that need to go into NYC on a regular basis ....

We have this thing called a subway. Runs 24 hours a day.

different job sites.

They should just add it as a separate line item so customers understand the reasoning.

But they are still hit with these fees, what do they pay taxes for?

I remembered those letters from my childhood. Don't know if they still call it that there.

That tells you how old I am.
