New York ratifies the first toll system for private vehicles to be applied in the United States. The measure aims to alleviate traffic congestion in the central area of ​​the Big Apple.

The new plan will charge most cars $15 to access southbound 60th Street during rush hour. Critics say that pricing, in addition to penalizing New Yorkers who depend on cars for their work, will put small businesses in trouble, which will have to absorb the expense or pass it on to customers.
