MIDTOWN, Manhattan -- It's a proposal that would affect almost every driver in New York City starting in 2021, if it passes the state legislature this year.
However, congestion pricing -- the plan that would charge drivers for driving in the southern third of Manhattan's streets -- has already been in effect for yellow and green cab drivers since February 2. Many of the drivers say that the added cost is ruining their business. On Wednesday, dozens of cab drivers held a mobile, and very loud, protest against the surcharge outside of Gov. Andrew Cuomo's office.
