Uber Hit with Cap as New York City Takes Lead in Crackdown

I want to see a high congestion tax placed in Seattle as well. Delivery, buses, and city residents exempt...possibly vehicles with multi passengers. We're starting to get NYC traffic. I bus every morning and it takes longer to get off the exit and into the city than it does for the entire rest of the ride. I look at who's driving into the city every day, and it's 95%+ single occupant vehicles, which is unacceptable.

We have a mayor who's very anti-public transit so it will not happen anytime soon.

You want even congestion pricing, or at least congestion pricing on delivery and professional drivers too. This incentives efficient car services, because 1 car carrying 4 (or 20) people can split the cost amongst those 20 people without much of a sweat. A UPS car making 100 deliveries can split the cost for pennies per package.
