A private bus operator that transports millions of tourists into New York City is fuming that they could be forced to fork over big bucks as part of a planned congestion toll to enter midtown.
Coach USA and its subsidiary Megabus said its stunned their charter buses won’t be exempt from the toll as it estimates transporting between 9 and 12 million passengers into the congestion zone each year.
“It’s confounding. It. doesn’t make any sense,” vice president of public affairs Dan Rodriguez told The Post.
“We’re doing what the congestion pricing law is designed to do: Get people into mass transit, get cars off the road, reduce congestion and carbon emissions,” he said. “We’re part of the solution and a public benefit that should not be penalized with tolls.”
