The thing that this article doesn't discuss is the fact that Uber spent $2M on lobbying to help push through congestion pricing. [0]
>“Over the past several years, we’ve been proud to work with a diverse coalition to fight for comprehensive congestion pricing, and we’re excited to see Albany take action to reduce congestion and invest in mass transit,” said Harry Hartfeld, an Uber spokesman.
>Roughly $1 million went to some of the top city lobbyists, including Stu Loeser, a onetime senior aide to former Mayor Mike Bloomberg.
>Another $700,000 went to fund the Fix Our Transit coalition’s ad campaign that targeted undecided Albany politicians.
