New York City’s congestion pricing is scheduled to take effect Sunday — but for the first month, Lyft said it will be crediting riders who pay the fee. There are different prices for different vehicles at different times — during daytime hours, it will cost $9 to drive a regular car in Manhattan below 60th St, while someone using a ride-hailing service like Uber or Lyft will pay $1.50 per ride. So it described the credit as “a small gesture to help people adjust to another new expense – even as we work to reduce the overall cost of rides.”
