Hampton Jitney — the popular bus operator that shuttles New Yorkers to the Hamptons — warned that it may be forced to hike ticket prices when New York City’s imminent congestion pricing takes effect.
Under the city’s tolling proposal, the private bus company will pay double in tolls to shuttle passengers from Manhattan to the Hamptons and Long Island’s North Fork, according to an email send to riders on Feb. 25 obtained by Bloomberg.

I read that as ‘when immigrant congestion takes place’, not ‘imminent’.
Just in case anyone is wondering what a one way bus trip from East Hampton to Manhattan costs - $47 for early AM, $69 for mid-day trips

Lol. For real? Morons.
I’m surprised that they still have the jitney. People should stay home and not travel to save the environment!!!
Since when do rich @ssholes in the Hamptons take the bus ?
This must be for their servants.
I hope every American boycotts NYC.
why on earth would these fools apply their “congestion control” toll premiums to MASS TRANSIT PASSENGERS!
