S 2560 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to processing fees resulting from credit card or other non-cash payments selected by passengers of taxicabs and for-hire transportation

This bill allows taxicab and for-hire transportation companies (medallion owners) to pass credit card processing fees directly to passengers who choose non-cash payment methods. It requires these fees to be separately listed on passenger receipts, alongside the fare. Regulatory agencies must adjust approved fares and vehicle meters to include these fees, while clarifying that charging passengers for processing costs does not mean the company is being charged the fee. The law applies to all non-cash payments and ensures transparency in how these costs are presented to riders.
