It’s not remotely comparable. It’s a $2.75 surcharge.

He means that for-hire vehicles will not be hit with a congestion fee for every fare they take into or out of the congestion zone. That is total bullshit and it’s the main reason why this will have little impact on congestion.

Lol if you think congestion pricing is going to eliminate gridlock.

Reply to Top aide to NYC Councilman Christopher Marte accused of berating reporter with sexist slurs by drpvn
A top aide to Manhattan Councilman Christopher Marte recently berated a female journalist with a torrent of sexist slurs, according to a complaint she filed this week with the City Council.
The Marte aide, Stephen Wong, made the offensive comments in four voicemails left with the reporter, Lotus Chau of Chinese-language Sing Tao Daily, on Feb. 15 in regards to a disagreement over a news article she had written about the Democratic Council member, her complaint alleges.
“The messages, which were in Cantonese, said ‘F--k you,’ ‘f--k your mother,’ ‘you c--t,’ ‘c--t between your knees,’ ‘slaughter ... you pig,’ ‘you c--t pig’ and ‘your newspaper go die,’” Chau wrote in the complaint, which was obtained by the Daily News.
Chau called the comments she was allegedly subjected to “abhorrent and unacceptable.”
“The messages were vile, vulgar, demeaning and hate-filled,” she wrote.
Chau submitted the complaint with Marte’s office and looped in Council Speaker Adrienne Adams, the full Progressive Caucus and Council members Julie Won, Sandra Ung and Linda Lee, the body’s three Asian-American members. She offered to furnish the Council with the voicemail recordings.
Wong, who serves as a senior adviser to Marte, did not return a request for comment Thursday. Chau declined to comment beyond her complaint.
Caitlin Kelmar, Marte’s chief of staff, said her office takes Chau’s allegations “very seriously” and that she expects Wong will be reprimanded.
“We will definitely be discussing this within the office, with the City Council’s general counsel’s office, and we will be taking action,” Kelmar said.
Marte’s office confirmed the beef between Wong and Chau stemmed from a Feb. 14 story she had written about the Council member’s decision to sign on to the Progressive Caucus’ new mission statement, which includes a pledge to “reduce the size and scope of the NYPD.”
The police reduction pledge has stirred controversy in the Council and resulted in 15 members leaving the group in protest earlier this month. Chau’s story noted the seeming contradiction in Marte having apparently claimed that even though he remains a Progressive Caucus member, he does not support reducing funding for the police.

> Or you can try the festival's cross-country-skiing obstacle courses, or a downhill ramp transported from Killington (the ramp is limited to six people at a time, 10 years or older). If a little snow is quite enough, thanks, you can forget about it for a while and watch rollerblading demonstrations on a half pipe, or do it yourself. All equipment, including children's sizes, will be lent.
>For the more passive, there will be a ski-tricks trampoline show, an ice sculptor chipping ice into art, and a ski-clothes fashion show. You may make a mental note that the hot colors for clothes this year are plum, teal and navy, and that the hot fabric is Thermoloft. And the hot styles? Zip-out vests, reversible outfits and -- the most necessary of all -- long johns.
