Excerpt from Bloomberg -- "I've been frustrated by the storyline that Uber and Lyft are solely responsible for the increase in congestion that we've seen in New York...I don't see the approach of targeting just one contributor as being sensible so I think the one public transit service that New Yorkers really look to and that has steadily been increasing in quality over the last few years is now going to be capped and I think it's really going to hit the people in Brooklyn and Queens..."
