Manhattan taxi surcharge
A judge has lifted a temporary restraining order that blocked the state's congestion surcharges on taxis and other for-hire vehicles in Manhattan. The new ride fees were supposed to start Jan. 1, but drivers sued over the proposed fee of $2.50 for yellow taxis and $2.75 for other for-hire vehicles, including Uber and Lyft vehicles. The money raised would go to fund the Metropolitan Transportation Authority.
