to Long Island City.
Josiah Teng, 26, an Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey-based therapist, was paying $40 to get from Fort Lee, NJ, to his office at 176th Street in the Bronx twice per week.

“If it’s a matter of convenience, we just bite the bullet and use Uber,” Teng said, calling it an “immense frustration.”
