Hi Brian Lehrer here, up next Brian Lehrer weekend.

Three of our favorite segments from the week, packaged together for you to listen to on the weekend.

So enjoy and I'll see you back on the radio Monday at 10 a.m. on WNYC and W. WNYC. Now on to the details of the congestion pricing tolls that got

finalized by the part of the MTA that was working on that this week.

As I mentioned yesterday, there are still some court cases challenging the whole concept.

And we'll see if any of those actually derail the plan but the

final rules for congestion pricing are out officially and they're supposed to take

effect in June so let's talk to our transportation

reporter. Your friendly neighborhood transportation reporter as he goes on

Twitter or X. Stephen Nesson, hi Stephen. Hello Brian. And are you surprised that our lines are already full before you've even spoken one word with people with questions

and comments about that?

Is this consistent with your experience as a reporter this week?

Oh, 100% and just illustrative of that Brian real quick.

When I went out to talk to drivers after the vote, I just

unprompted said congestion pricing I hate it

And I see there are like 500 comments on your Gothamist article,

and I don't know how often that happens,

but not very often.

All right, rule number one, congestion pricing $15

for passenger cars in effect from 5 a.m. to 9 p.m. on weekdays.

It starts a little later in the morning on the weekends, 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. and I wonder even about that, John, even on Saturdays and Sundays, up till

9 o'clock at night people have to pay this congestion pricing fee.
