Both NYC yellow taxi & FHV drivers are against being subject to any additional congestion surcharges, ahead of MTA's final congestion tolling determinations

Why should passengers pay yet another congestion fee because the MTA can not manage its finances? This hurts drivers because it raises the overall fares for passengers (thereby decreasing demand) while FHV supply will increase from all the temporary shelving of vehicle licenses expiring. Not to mention, we are staring into the mouth of a serious NYC recession or even economic depression should the commercial office market fail. None of this bodes well for FHV drivers. The MTA needs to control the fare beating ($690 million per year as of this writing) and their costs.

A bit misleading
“Both NYC yellow taxi & FHV drivers are against being subject to any additional congestion surcharges, “
yellow cabs support a total exemption but not for Uber, Taxis have already paid with the medallion , black cars and Ubers have not , totally unfair to charge both or not charge both as well
