This helps to reduce traffic, make more people use buses and trains, and collect money to improve public transport.</p><h5>How will people be charged?</h5><p>Fees are different based on the time of day and the vehicle. Trucks, buses, and motorcycles will have different fees.</p><p>Some drivers, like those on low incomes, emergency vehicles, and disabled drivers, will get discounts or won't have to pay at all.</p><h5>Donald Trump voices against it.</h5><p>President-elect Donald Trump does not like this new rule and plans to end it when he takes office. He thinks it will hurt New York's business. But other cities like London and Stockholm have similar fees, and many people think they work well.</p>

New York City has introduced a fee for drivers entering Manhattan during peak hours to reduce traffic, improve air quality, and fund public transportation repairs.
