Uber and Lyft have been charging a congestion fee for YEARS before the congestion fee was implemented. Look over your receipt and go back a few years!!!! CROOKS!!!!!
Right - “surge fees”. Another thing to consider is why should the rider be charged an MTA fee? That person is doing their part in not driving through the “congestion zone” correct? Simply a money grab.
well the real reason is, it creates alot less traffic for uber drivers, and they dont pay the toll, the consumer does. The more money drivers make the more uber does.
Got caught with their hands in the cookie jar and with a handful of cookies falling out of their pockets. Doesn’t surprise me Uber would try and take advantage of something like this Ms
@morrismonet3554 not so easy they will need to travel to find what state suits them the best but most can't because they can't take time off from their jobs and the bills doesn't stop coming...plus if your living paycheck to paycheck like many people are it's nearly impossible after all the taxes new York takes out
@@TNFVLOGS I don't believe anyone is stuck in that hell hole. They don't get vacation time? If they are living paycheck to paycheck there, they could live quite well someplace else. Where there is a will, there is a way.
The MTA's mismanagement is the only factor. They harassed Bloomberg and De Blasio to put tolls on ALL bridges. I found out recently that in the 1980s they threaten to shut off lines if they did not get more money. Everything the city audits their books, they find out they have more money than they claim. The MTA already gets money from the bridges and tunnels, gas tax, sales tax, vehicle registrations, bus and subway fares, yearly money from the state and federal money, New York State residents paychecks and a few other places. They have a manager for about every 4 employees.
Maybe Uber hasn't heard other complaints because they make it so difficult in their app to actually contact a human being. That's why I stopped using it
How does it work when a vehicles enters the congestion zone a few times a day? Perhaps for deliveries or anything else. Are they hit each time or does the system recognize the car had already been scanned that day?
Well according to 311 nyc gov: “New York State imposes a congestion surcharge for some taxis and for-hire vehicles for trips that: Both begin and end in NY State, and Begin in, end in, or pass through Manhattan south of, but not including, 96th Street (the congestion zone) This surcharge is separate from the Congestion Pricing toll charged for entering the Congestion Relief Zone in Manhattan. The surcharge applies to: Taxis Green cabs Limousines Black cars Livery vehicles (also known as community cars) Rideshare or transportation network company vehicles Pool vehicles”
I’m sitting here in beautiful Florida watching old blue nyc drain the green out of pockets. The fares are going to go up because of the failure this is going to be.
Uber has been charging such fee even before the congestion prices began. I personally got charged 2x last year 2024. Although congestion pricing was not in effect. They are just a cheat.
So far no others could be because people are lacking in their own fiscal responsibility. A reason why many people overspend and run up their debt and cry when they can’t pay their credit cards bills
A problem in instructions is not a problem in software or code. Your script writer is a writer by profession so they should feel obligated to use words correctly. Ironic cause their failing at their job by accusing others of failing at their job.
Just imagine the power, prominence and importance of the people living in this building to have a Fox anchor come and cover the story.. whereas.. the everyday poor people now have to pay the Congestion "Ransom" from their pockets to come from outside borrows in order to serve these masters who live below 60th. Good job Government! 👏👏👏
This is really big news I'm glad we are getting a full report on this matter. I'm glad they are issuing refunds! Always check your receipts to get your $1.50 back right away!!!
Here's how one of our anchors found out about this mistake fee: www.fox5ny.com/news/uber-hits-some-riders-mistake-congestion-pricing-fee-exclusive

YES‼️
Right - “surge fees”.
Another thing to consider is why should the rider be charged an MTA fee? That person is doing their part in not driving through the “congestion zone” correct? Simply a money grab.
Those fees don’t go to Uber but it goes to crooked mta
That fee was implemented by the city. I am sure Uber would rather it not be there.
A *glitch* in the MTA algorithm lol They attempted to get extra revenue but got caught.
Topical from uber and myft , stealing money as usual 😂
why would MTA cover for them then, lol
Oh yes, let's cry over $1.50 charged to one rider by accident, The system isn't perfect, mistakes happen
They tried to pull a fast one and see if their customers noticed. And they did. Greedy sneaky.
Stop stealing peoples money.
The MTA is such a s*** show. It truly never ends
and always crying poverty.
Uber and lyft gave hochul $2million to implement the congestion fee. Now you see why?
the MTA is Uber and Lyft's competition.
@@381deliriusthey work together Uber & Lyft lobby for congestion pricing
@@381deliriusnot really it’s just a luxury service of the MTA.

I feel bad for people who can't afford to move out of new York it's always a money grab out there
It’s the poor policies that are put into place. That are ruining the city
If they can afford to live there they can afford to move. LOL

Actually Uber and Lyft are two major factor of congestion, before shared rider became a thing, NYC's traffic is not bad at all.
NYC traffic had been bad since horse and buggy was the predominant way of travel 😂

Are you like 10 yrs old? 😂 it’s always been bad it’s just gotten worse with Lyft and uber
Said NOBODY who lived or ever been to NYC 😂 One reason we all used the subway.
Ban uber n lift n all car services. Only yellow cab as in the 50’s
Congestion fee $9, uber passengers pay $1.50 fee, uber driver gets 45cents.
New Yorkers being told they must pay to drive on streets their taxes pay to maintain already......you simply can't explain stupidity.
Really over a 1.50? Drivers get ripped 😔 off way more than that...
Trashy as hell New York !🫣
On that screen print, there are four different taxes/fees/surcharges. How many don't we see?
Maybe Uber hasn't heard other complaints because they make it so difficult in their app to actually contact a human being. That's why I stopped using it
Charge them $9 per ride. This will deter them.
😂😂😂 well some people support congestion pricing so enjoy paying extra cost on goods
A Glitch. Wait till it becomes like london with the whole of Manhatten downtown covered by the fee like in london
Rember they made all the streets have less lanes to make the congestion to begin with.
It’s a toll. Not about congestion. If so, why am I paying at 2a?
Congestion toll is a nice way of robbing million of driver a week of 9$ per.
Sounds about NY
Good luck getting a refund..Hochul will probably take taxes out.
Disgusting business practices for doing that smh this whole congestion tax is nasty
How does it work when a vehicles enters the congestion zone a few times a day? Perhaps for deliveries or anything else. Are they hit each time or does the system recognize the car had already been scanned that day?
Pay itt once per day.
We need this to be cancel for good this congestion crap 💩
Now a days to get your refund we need help from media 😂
UBER SUCKS 😏👎
Uber and Lyft staunch supporters of the policy, expected of them to play games.
This definitely some bullshit. Yo
duhhhh its about to be so many scams cause of this
Oh..... It is MTA again.... So greedy....
Of course they will charge. They are part of the group that wanted congestion pricing.
Congestion prices means the substitution of the money that was over spent for the illegal migrant crisis?
No. They were talking about this since 2018. It became part of their plans since 2019.
Electronics have consequences… enjoy
Uber or their drivers are hustlers?
It sounds like you have some ignorance about how the app works
Well according to 311 nyc gov:
“New York State imposes a congestion surcharge for some taxis and for-hire vehicles for trips that:

The surcharge applies to:

Rideshare or transportation network company vehicles
Pool vehicles”
Sad days in NY
not surprised from these thieves.
Dark green grating greed!
I’m sitting here in beautiful Florida watching old blue nyc drain the green out of pockets. The fares are going to go up because of the failure this is going to be.
This is just bs news
Pedestrians should be charged too for walking south of 60th street. Bicycles and other 2 wheel vehicles should pay toll as well.
Pretty soon 😂😅
Can’t tell whether you’re serious or being sarcastic?
Human n animals that breathe will be charged for air consumed in NYC
Why am I not surprised
Guess no more uber and Lyft for me. The last mayor made uber raise their prices now this dumb congestion pricing bs
Uber has been charging such fee even before the congestion prices began. I personally got charged 2x last year 2024. Although congestion pricing was not in effect. They are just a cheat.
Every where you look in nyc there is a tax, you cant move around with out being taxed. We are being taxed to death.
So far no others could be because people are lacking in their own fiscal responsibility. A reason why many people overspend and run up their debt and cry when they can’t pay their credit cards bills

Ya bs. They got caught for such outreach. Smh

New york needs blade runners

Unionize Uber!!
Bye bye New York.
Been saying it use LYFT ! UBER BE HEAD CRACKIN
If your pick up destination is in 59th street and the uber has to drive from 61th street to pick you up, who picks up the congestion fee?
they are refunding because they Got Caught
As the fires in California continues and getting worse, uber and lyft are charging higher prices from Malibu to downtown LA
Crooks!!
Unbelievable
The cash grabs are real welcome to 2025
New Pork
slow news day
We knew this was going to happen. 😂
Suuure!!!
Another reason why I hate NY .
Have no fear, the congestion zone will expand, the congestion price will increase.
Everybody in NYC should be paying $9 "BS charge" just for looking at a cab or Uber. Why, just because, so they'll vote better next time....
Lmao
Just give the money the the medallion holders.
Who cares? They saw the fare before they accepted the ride. This is a non-story.
Keep voting democrat NYC
Rember they made all the streets have less lanes to make the congestion to begin with.
