Lyft has announced that it will credit New York City riders for the newly implemented congestion fee throughout January. The fee, aimed at reducing traffic and funding mass transit, charges different rates depending on the vehicle and time of day. Regular cars will incur a $9 fee, while ride-hailing services like Lyft will see a $1.50 charge per ride. Lyft will refund this amount in credits applicable to future rides or Citi Bike usage, easing the financial burden on its customers during this transition. This credit serves as a gesture to mitigate the impact of rising ride costs.
