New Jersey airport ride share fees to double, as part of the Port Authority’s $45 billion 10-year capital plan. Uber and Lyft drivers fighting to stop it.

Airport pick-up fee increases will double as pick-up and drop-off fees are among several toll and fare hikes proposed in the Port Authority plan  

“It takes from the hardworking ride share drivers and the local outer-borough and suburban families who rely on Uber and Lyft and gives a free pass to the wealthiest Manhattan business travelers and tourists who benefit from yellow taxi exemptions,” he said.

The policy exempts private cars and company vehicles that use the airports from the access fee, he said.

The proposed fee would prompt travelers to avoid app-based ride share vehicles, reduce drivers’ trip volumes and cut the incomes of thousands of drivers, the Guild contends.
