Fees apply for driving into downtown New York

New York City officials have imposed a toll on cars entering downtown — the first such measure in any city in the United States.

Car drivers will pay $9 per day, and the rate will vary depending on the vehicle and the hours of operation.

Entrance will be paid to the central park circuit, and the part visited so much by tourists, around the Empire State Building, near Times Square, and the financial district - Wall Street.

The scheme aims to reduce New York's severe traffic problems and raise billions of dollars for the public transport network, although it has been heavily criticized by New Yorkers, including US President-elect Donald Trump, who has vowed to will put an end to this scheme when he officially takes power this month.

Associations of taxi companies have also had major objections.

Last year, New York City was named the city with the busiest urban area, for the second year in a row.

Cars in the center of the city, Manhattan, have voted at a speed of 17 kilometers per hour, during the peak traffic period./REL
