“Drivers
across this industry are in the worst crisis in generations, barely
surviving, and an agency with mismanaged funds now wants to steal the
food off their tables. This fee — on top of a devastating $2.50
congestion surcharge in Manhattan and after a 36% drop in revenue for
yellow cab drivers — appears manufactured at the state level to wipe
out a sector that has kept the airports moving for decades.
“Drivers
are in crisis but the Port Authority underestimates our resolve. If
they want a fight, they got one. Drivers: get ready to shut down the
airports.”
