Senate Passes Verrazzano Toll Discount for Brooklynites
The #NYSenate has passed a bill to give Brooklynites a break on the steep toll for the #VerrazanoBridge.
The bill, which passed the Senate 55-3 on Thursday, gives #Brooklyn residents making at least 10 trips in a month across the Verrazzano with an E-Z Pass account the same discounted price that #StatenIsland residents currently have – $5.50 (though that discount for Staten Islanders kicks in when they make just three trips a month with E-ZPass).
The discount would only apply to non-commercial vehicles.
The current toll for non-Staten Islanders is $12.24 with E-ZPass and $19 without.

Uber Copter's $200 flights launch in NYC on July 9th
#Uber's autonomous flying taxis aren't ready to take flight yet, but according to a report in the #NewYorkTimes, it will offer air transit starting July 9th. Uber Copter will be available in New York City first, to Uber Rewards members who've obtained Platinum and Diamond status. Unsurprisingly, the rides will have dynamic pricing that changes based on demand, but the average ride will cost between $200 and $225, according to Uber Elevate's Nikhil Goel.
However, unlike Uber's car service, it has a predetermined route that runs between a location near the #StatenIsland Ferry in #Manhattan and #JFK with a flight time of about eight minutes. Uber hasn't publicly announced the service itself, but according to the article, flights will have space for up to five passengers (don't expect to bring along much baggage) with two pilots, all operated by the Heliflite charter service.
