Councilman James Vacca (D-Bronx) said he remains concerned about overcharging and is introducing a bill Wednesday that would require the city to restore fare rate decals, which were removed earlier this summer.

“If there are drivers willing to skirt the system with the fare already on the door, how easy will it be for drivers to dupe unsuspecting passengers now that the fare decal is gone?” said Councilman James Vacca, chairman of the Transportation Committee. “Transparency trumps aesthetics, and the passenger must come first.”
