LYFT
November 01, 2025

Lyft announced on January 4, 2025, that it will credit New York City riders for the new congestion pricing fee throughout the month of January. The congestion pricing program is scheduled to take effect on Sunday, January 5, 2025, targeting traffic reduction in lower Manhattan.

The company's initiative aims to mitigate the immediate financial impact on its customers, potentially encouraging continued use of its services despite the new fee. This strategy could help maintain rider volume and market share in a highly competitive urban environment.

By absorbing the initial cost for riders, Lyft is making a direct investment in customer experience and loyalty. This move demonstrates the company's responsiveness to local regulatory changes and its commitment to its New York City market.
