Reply to comment by sumgye in Upper West Side votes against proposed rest stop for delivery workers at 72nd Street by mowotlarx

There’s no way they’ll pass the extra cost down to the consumer? That’s exactly what they’ll do. Uber makes users pay the congestion surcharge if you travel below 96th st.

These delivery services are not a necessity… if the cost of them go up to make the drivers job halfway decent while making it fair to the community in which these rest stops are, I have no problem with that. If paying delivery fees and service charges are not within your budget, pick up.

I agree! Just wanted to point out that it’s unrealistic to think that it wouldn’t be passed down to the consumers.

Yep. Of course they will. When VC money starts to run out and companies need to turn a profit the prices go up. Happened with ride share and will happen/is happening with food delivery
