NYC Announces New 'Congestion Meditation' Fee – Pay $15 to Breathe Through Traffic Stress

In a bold move to alleviate both vehicular gridlock and urban anxiety, New York City has unveiled a groundbreaking **"Congestion Meditation"** surcharge. Starting this summer, drivers entering Manhattan below 60th Street will not only pay a $15 congestion fee but will also receive a complimentary mindfulness podcast to help them accept their fate. "We realized people weren’t just stuck in traffic—they were emotionally stuck too," said a city spokesperson. The revenue, officials claim, will fund Zen gardens along the FDR Drive and emergency therapy sessions for those trapped behind double-parked delivery trucks. Uber drivers have already started chanting, and taxi horns are being rebranded as "urban sound therapy."
