(Reuters) – New York’s congestion pricing has led to 1 million total fewer vehicles entering Manhattan and cut commuting times since the program began on Jan. 5, a transit agency said Wednesday.
The Metropolitan Transportation Authority said inbound trips times on all Hudson and East River crossings are now 10% to 30%, faster or more, while bus service has also improved. Subway ridership has grown by 7.3% on weekdays and 12% on weekends over January 2024.
