New York becomes the first U.S. city with a congestion charge despite opposition

New York City’s first-ever Congestion Relief Zone officially launched on Sunday, introducing congestion charges for motorists entering Manhattan’s busiest neighborhoods.

The new toll system, aimed at reducing traffic and funding public transportation, charges up to $9 for most cars entering the central business district during peak hours.

Small trucks and buses face higher fees, with larger vehicles paying up to $21.60.

Exemptions include emergency vehicles, low-income drivers, and certain buses, NBC News has reported.
