It could soon cost much more to take an Uber or Lyft in Manhattan.

City Councilmember Ruben Diaz Sr. introduced a bill on Friday that will set a base fare of $5.80 on ride-share trips south of 96th Street in Manhattan — the same zone where the state’s congestion pricing will go into effect in January.

The move is to put the rides on par with yellow cabs, which will be forced to charge riders $5.80-$2.50 congestion pricing fee, 50 cent surcharge for the MTA, 30-cent accessible car fund, and $2.50 initial charge — just to get into the vehicle in the congestion district starting in January.

Diaz wants to prevent the ride-share companies from lowering their rates to keep fares artificially low so that they can hold onto customers. Taxi industry advocates fear that the less-regulated black cars will take advantage and further cut into already dismal cab business.

“The yellows are going to get skunked by the Ubers, so we have to make it more fair,” said Diaz spokesman Christopher Lynn.

Uber officials insist that they do not plan to lower fares to eat the congestion pricing fee and that rates will go up in January.

“Come January, riders will be subject to new state and city regulations that will result in higher fares, especially in Manhattan,” said Uber spokeswoman Alix Anfang.
