Lucius Riccio on Traffic Congestion

The true cause of midtown Manhattan congestion is Uber and other For Hire Vehicles. The following videos are random videos of Broadway south of 14th street during the middle of the day up to rush hour. Note, most FHV's look like regular cars, which they are. They can be identified by the license plates. Their plates have TLC on them. Because they are hard to distinguish from "regular" cars, most people cannot see the volume of these types of cars and therefore do not understand the damage Uber and other FHV's have done to NYC with paying anywhere near the price yellow cabs have paid to operate under the medallion system which makes them pay and limits their number. See for your self what percentage of cars are FHVs.
