The congestion price depends on the number of passengers? Ugh. That makes no sense.

no, that is a different fee unrelated to the congestion charge which wont begin until 2021.

previous proposals have had taxis and delivery vehicles only paying once per day

This is a preliminary congestion charge that was instituted now because NYC already had the hooks to extract these fees.
