Commuter buses and city vehicles are set to receive exemptions from the city’s congestion pricing program under a newly-updated plan from the MTA following feedback from the public, revealed Monday.
The base toll will remain at $15 for most motorists entering Manhattan south of 60th Street, with larger rates for trucks and discounts overnight and for low-income frequent drivers. But the original proposal to charge private bus companies and city vehicles entering Manhattan will no longer be in effect under the authority’s final proposal, which is set to get a vote at the MTA’s monthly board meeting on Wednesday.
